The Tailor — Tim Sullivan

“One of my favourite detectives.” -- Elly Griffith

The unfailingly shrewd and uniquely brilliant DS George Cross is back . . .

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.

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 realizes that this was no mugging -- it was an organized hit. This realization forces George into a merciless, unfamiliar world -- and is it his imagination, or is he being followed?

Everyone knows that DS George Cross is tenacious, that he always gets to the truth. It seems, this time, someone will do anything to stop that from happening.
