About this ebook
'Every generation has its iconic detective - Holmes, Poirot and Morse - but Cross is emerging as the one for now.' DAILY MAIL
'One of my favourite detectives.' ELLY GRIFFITHS
THE KILLING
A bespoke tailor boards the 9:26 train from Bristol to London. Before it even reaches Bath, his body is found slumped lifeless in the toilet. The police initially assume it's a robbery.
THE CRIME
But the truth is more complicated than that. Why was the man found with a plastic bag over his head? Why was his throat cut in such a savage way? DS George Cross realises that this was no mugging - it was an organised hit.
THE END
This realisation forces Cross into a merciless, unfamiliar world – and is it his imagination or is he being followed?
Everyone knows that DS Cross is tenacious, that he always gets to the truth – and it seems, this time, someone will do anything to stop that from happening...
Perfect for fans of MW Craven, Peter James and Joy Ellis, this is the eighth book in the bestselling series, which can be read in any order.
