A George Cross Mysteries (Book 4-7) By Tim Sullivan 4 Books Collection Set - Fiction - Paperback

Description

• The Politician (Book 4) A burglary gone wrong
• or a staged murder? George Cross loves puzzles, and the crime scene at the home of Bristol's former mayor is a complicated one. To most, it looks like a burglary gone wrong, but George can see this was murder. There's no shortage of potential killers: the online trolls the victim fought in her new life as a controversial blogger, her bitter political rivals, even her own family. With suspects everywhere and pressure mounting, George finds his usually impeccable logic challenged just when he needs it most. Because politics can be a dangerous game
• especially for people who don't know the rules… The Monk (Book 5) A victim with no enemies. A murder with no motive. When the body of a monk is found savagely beaten in woodland near Bristol, DS George Cross discovers that nothing is known about the man's past. How can he unpick a crime when he doesn't know anything about the victim? And why would someone want to harm a monk? His past reveals that he had no enemies, although George learns he was exceedingly wealthy, that he sacrificed it all for his faith. For a man who has nothing, it seems strange that greed could be the motive for his murder. But greed is a sin after all... The Teacher (Book 6) The victim's worst enemy was himself. When an elderly man is found dead in his home, the angle of his neck says he fell down the stairs. The stab wound on his body tells a different story. In the weeks before his murder, Alistair Moreton changed. A recluse by nature, neighbours swear someone was living with him, someone he didn't want them to see. Moreton spent a lifetime making enemies and now DS George Cross needs to uncover which one finally struck back. Because in all of Alistair's years, there was something important he never learned. If you go through life hurting people, don't be surprised when they teach you a lesson. The Bookseller (Book 7) SOMEONE'S ABOUT TO TURN THEIR LAST PAGE... A bookseller is found dead in his shop on a quiet square in Bristol, surrounded by rare books, first editions and a shocking amount of blood. DS George Cross, usually the first to spot holes in a suspect's story, is distracted. His father's recent diagnosis has left him unsettled, relying on others in a way he is not comfortable with. It's impacting the case
• and himself
• more than he'd like to admit. The truth only gets murkier as George uncovers tales of lost manuscripts and rival dealers, revealing how dangerous the rarefied world of bookselling can be
• especially when the suspects are so familiar with crime novels. They know exactly how to get away with murder.
