Publisher's Summary

Introducing your new crime thriller fix: Bristol detective DS George Cross, champion of the outsider, the voiceless and the dispossessed.

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. So when his police colleagues dismiss the death of a man as a squabble among Bristol's homeless community, Detective Sergeant George Cross is not convinced.

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?

As he delves into the dead man's past, Cross becomes convinced that to catch this killer, he needs to solve a cold case murder from years before. A murder that someone has got away with for 15 years....

Totally enthralling.

I absolutely loved this novel. The crimes themselves became almost secondary to understanding the man who eventually solved them. I loved the detailed insight into the complicated detective far better portrayed in the sympathetic narration than could be evidenced in any made for TV crimes series, no matter whose great the actor.

Entertaining and unpredictable

Many laughs to be had and a storyline that keeps you guessing right till the very last paragraph.

Loved this book

Compelling story. It flowed very well. The author described the complexities of living with Aspergers in a thoughtful and insightful way. The narration was excellent.

Very entertaining

A good story line. Not as predictable as most. But I mostly enjoyed the characters. DS Cross was delightful. As was Ray, Otto and Alice. You just know there is a lot more to find out about them and although the case is well wrapped up I still want to find out more about each of them. The narrator was excellent. I don’t like ones that do different voices for different characters. There were no romantic or erotic scenes which I also prefer. Or any of the egotistical‘don’t you know who I am?’ rubbish you find in a lot of detective novels.

All round good book.

Complex storyline along with real time/life references and a great depth in characters. George Cross's character is interesting and I appreciate how the author uses his main character to help educate on the complexities of someone with Asperger's syndrome/autism. So much so that I am going straight on to the next book.

Excellent read,

Following DI Cross manoeuvring thru not only the case/s to solve, but navigating thru his difficulty interacting with anyone. Looking forward to the next in series.
