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 relentless pursuit of justice means his conviction rate is the best on the force. When a ravaged body is found in a local demolition site, it is up to Cross to piece together the truth from whatever fragments he can find.

The demolition began at dawn. Walls knocked over. Twisted pipes uprooted. Window frames smashed. A dead body unearthed....

DS Cross has little to go on, but from the faint tan lines on the body and strange scars on his forearms, an identity gradually emerges: a young man, an amateur cyclist, a supply of performance-enhancing drugs. But what led this man to his death? Cross mounts an investigation that will uncover jealousy, ambition and a family tearing itself apart - an investigation that could cost him his career....

Really well written

I'm a fan of good grammar. This series of books isn't just well put together and compulsive listening but well and correctly written. The narration is also very good.

Love it all

I really like everything about this series. The characters, story line, and especially the way Asperger’s/Autistic traits are portrayed, showing both the positive and negative aspects of neurodivergence. I hope to see more development of the supporting characters as the series progresses.

Another great Cross instalment

I am really enjoying this series of books by Tim Sullivan though similar to rhe Val McDermid Carol Jordan and Tony Hill books, they are full of twisty plot lines that keep the listener interested to the very end.

Loved it!

Another fab episode in this series. I love George, such a well written character. It’s a really good crime story, but also funny at times. Looking forward to the next one!

Getting better

These stories would be great as a TV series. Cross’s autism is being better handled. The characters are becoming more real. Good plot and a great twist!

Great story, great narration

I came across these stories in an Audible sale. Since I enjoy detective stories, I thought I'd take a chance. Set in Bristol, our eccentric Detective Cross, takes us on a clever journey to uncover the murderer. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and have another in the series already lined up. Shout out for the extremely good narrator too.
