The Bookseller: An unmissable new case for the unforgettable detective in this must-read series

SOMEONE'S ABOUT THE TURN THEIR LAST PAGE...

'George Cross is becoming one of my favourite detectives.' ELLY GRIFFITHS

THE SETTING
When the body of a bookseller is discovered, collapsed in a pool of blood in his Bristolian bookshop, it is immediately clear that he has been murdered. What is unclear is how someone could have met such a violent end in this quiet, peaceful place.

THE CONFLICT
DS Cross is adept at dismissing red-herrings but a worrying development in his personal life has left him hopelessly distracted, leaving his usual means of deciphering evidence challenged.

THE MURDER PLOT
The world of bookselling is a quiet one, but it is full of passionate and ambitious characters. They know a rare book equals a big payoff and their extensive reading means they also know the best ways to get away with murder...

Perfect for fans of MW Craven, Peter James and Joy Ellis, this is the seventh book in the bestselling series, which can be read in any order.
