Synopsis

Don't miss THE TAILOR, the brand new mystery in the million-copy-bestselling George Cross series - OUT NOW.

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

A victim with no enemies. A murder with no motive.

When the body of a monk is found savagely beaten in woodland near Bristol, DS George Cross discovers that nothing is known about the man's past.

How can he unpick a crime when he doesn't know anything about the victim? And why would someone want to harm a monk?

His past reveals that he had no enemies, although George learns he was exceedingly wealthy, that he sacrificed it all for his faith.

For a man who has nothing, it seems strange that greed could be the motive for his murder. But greed is a sin after all...

Perfect for fans of MW Craven, Ann Cleeves and Joy Ellis, The Monk is part of the million-copy-bestselling George Cross Mystery series, which can be read in any order, by the 2026 winner of the Crime Writers' Association Dagger in the Library Award.
