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 fifteen years…

Why readers love George Cross . . .

“A must-read series.”
The Times

“The character development is amazing. DS Cross is a complete mystery at the beginning and by the end of the book he is familiar and understandable, even though he is very complex. The plot is also really good. It’s so very interesting to go through the clues and leads with DS Cross. I will be reading more from this author.”
Cherie L Osier

“George Cross is such an incredible and complex character to me. I love the fact that he was not sidelined due to having Asperger’s Syndrome, but was able to use it to his advantage. Tim Sullivan did a masterful job of helping us to see through the eyes of someone with Asperger’s and see them as a friend and not a threat.”
John D Connolly

“A British detective for the 21st century who will be hard to forget.”
