āEvery generation has its iconic detectiveāHolmes, Poirot and Morseābut Cross is emerging as the one for now. Treasure him.āāDaily Mail
He's a victim. But is he innocent?
Detective Sergeant George Cross has always been a good studentāattentive, methodical, and careful to double-check his work. So when an elderly schoolteacher is found dead at home in southwest England, Cross knows the math isnāt adding up. The angle of the manās neck suggests he fell down the stairs. But the stab wound on his body changes the equation.
In the weeks before his murder, the reclusive Alistair Moreton seemed different. He had always kept to himself, but people swear someone else was in the house when they checked on him. There was a reason he wouldnāt let them inside.
DS George Cross has a long list of suspects. Prickly and miserable, Moreton made life hell for his neighbors and former pupils. But every victim deserves justiceāeven one who never learned an important truth: If you go through life making enemies, you shouldnāt be surprised when someone decides to teach you a lesson.
