DS George Cross can be rude, difficult, and awkward with people. But his unfailing logic and dogged pursuit of the truth means his conviction rate is the best on the force. An outsider himself, having been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, he is especially drawn to cases concerning the voiceless and the dispossessed. Who was the unknown man whose weather-beaten body is discovered on Clifton Downs? Did the tragedy that led to a life on the streets also lead to his death? His police colleagues may dismiss it as a squabble among Bristol’s homeless community, but Cross is not convinced. As he delves into the dead man’s past, he becomes convinced that to catch this killer, he needs to solve a cold case murder from years before. A murder that someone has spent fifteen years thinking they’ve got away with. And they have no intention of letting one eccentric, socially awkward detective, change that now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[406],"product_tag":[128,207],"class_list":{"0":"post-101882","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","5":"product_cat-crime-thrillers","6":"product_tag-fiction-related-items","7":"product_tag-thriller-suspense","8":"pa_book_author-sullivan-tim","9":"pa_cover-paperback","10":"pa_dewey-823-92-edition23","11":"pa_edition-paperback-original","12":"pa_imprint-head-of-zeus","13":"pa_language-english","14":"pa_pages-8611","15":"pa_publisher-head-of-zeus","16":"pa_readership-general-trade-code-k","18":"first","19":"onbackorder","20":"taxable","21":"shipping-taxable","22":"purchasable","23":"product-type-simple"},"yoast_head":"\n
