(Author) Tim SullivanDon't miss THE BOOKSELLER, the latest George Cross Mystery - available now. Good detectives notice details. Great detectives connect them. When a weather-beaten body is found on Clifton Downs, the police are quick to dismiss it as a quarrel among the unhoused community. George Cross is a detective with experience of being overlooked. Unwilling to do the same to others, he sets out to find out what really happened to the dead man. As George learns about a life that slowly unravelled, his investigation leads him to a decades-old murder. The question is how are the two deaths linked - and who killed each victim? If anyone can find out, George Cross can. To him, unanswered questions are like loose threads - pulling on them usually reveals the truth...
