Don't miss THE BOOKSELLER, the brand new DS Cross Thriller - available now.

A ransacked room. A dead politician. A burglary gone wrong or a staged murder?

THE DETECTIVE

DS George Cross loves puzzles he's good at them and he immediately spots one when he begins investigating the death of former mayor Peggy Frampton. It looks like a burglary that went horribly wrong to most but George can see what others can't that this was murder.

THE PUZZLE

After her political career ended, Peggy became a controversial blogger whose forthright opinions attracted a battalion of online trolls. And then there's her family: an unfaithful husband and a gambling-addicted son. With yet more enemies in her past, the potential suspects are unending.

THE SUSPECTS

Cross must unpick the never-ending list of seedy connections to find her killer but the sheer number of suspects is clouding his usually impeccable logic. He's a relentlessly methodical detective, but no case can last forever. And politics can be a dangerous game especially for people who don't know the rules . . .

Perfect for fans of MW Craven, Ann Cleeves and Joy Ellis, The Politician is part of the DS George Cross thriller series, which can be read in any order, by the 2025 Crime Writers' Association Dagger in the Library Award longlistee.
