Résumé :

Don't miss THE BOOKSELLER, the latest George Cross Mystery - available now.

No fingerprints. No weapon. No witnesses.

For days, George Cross notices the same woman sitting patiently in the reception of the Bristol Crime Unit. Eventually, he asks her why.

She wants to talk about her daughter's death, officially ruled a suicide after a long history of drug abuse. But the mother insists she was rebuilding her life and had been clean for years. She knows this wasn't suicide - someone did this to her daughter.

George doesn't operate on hunches or gut feelings, he simply follows the evidence wherever that might take him. And the facts of this case tell him this woman was murdered.

He just has to prove it.

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