“A perfect detective for our time and for all time.”—Stephen Fry
“One of the most iconic British fictional detectives of the 21st century . . . a delight.”—Daily Mail
Detective Sergeant George Cross returns to solve the case of a mangled body on a construction site and uncover a life of illicit drugs in the second book in Tim Sullivan’s internationally bestselling series
DS George Cross has unique and unmatchable talents. He uses a combination of logic, determination and exacting precision to get answers where others have failed for families who have long given up hope. So when a ravaged body is found in a local demolition site, it's up to Cross to piece together the truth from whatever fragments he can find.
From the faint tan lines and strange scars on the victim’s forearms, Cross meticulously unravels the young man's life, delving into the world of amateur cycling, an illicit supply of performance enhancing drugs, jealousy, ambition and a family tearing itself apart.
Cross’s relentless pursuit of the truth and eccentric methods earn him few friends. But just as the police seem to be nearing a conclusion, he doubles back. Could it be the biggest mistake of his career?

“I love reading about DS Cross so much, he’s such a quirky character!! 🙌
This is the second installment in the DS George Cross Mystery series, but can easily be read as a standalone! Cross solves another mystery filled with twists and turns, all while navigating some unwelcome changes to his routine with his father. Definitely recommend this series to mystery lovers! 👏
Thank you partner Atlantic Crime and NetGalley for the opportunity to read the gifted eARC in exchange for my honest review! ❤️”About Tim Sullivan
