Summary
Introducing your new crime thriller fix: Bristol detective DS George Cross, champion of the outsider, the voiceless and the dispossessed.
DS George Cross can be rude, difficult and awkward with people. But his unfailing logic and dogged pursuit of the truth means his conviction rate is the best on the force. So when his police colleagues dismiss the death of a man as a squabble among Bristol's homeless community, Detective Sergeant George Cross is not convinced.
Who was the unknown man whose weather-beaten body is discovered on Clifton Downs? Did the tragedy that led to a life on the streets also lead to his death?
As he delves into the dead man's past, Cross becomes convinced that to catch this killer, he needs to solve a cold case murder from years before. A murder that someone has got away with for 15 years....

A detective with Asperger's works!
To come up with a new detective series, one that's different in this crowded police procedurals genre is no mean feat, but Tim Sullivan has succeeded with a detective with Asperger's (and, a Bristol setting).
Have no personal experience of the autism but having watched, enjoyed the first two seasons of TV's Walter Present's foreign language series Astrid in Paris, where a young woman with the syndrome is superbly portrayed, helped me visualise brusque DS Cross. He's an interesting character, with his OCD tendencies, need for order, routine and his unique method of working gets results. Relationships being difficult for those with Asperger's, his work partner, DS Ottey, who as a black single mother, has faced her own fair share of discrimination in the police force, has learnt to d/w his quirks. She acts partly as a buffer, guiding hand between him and colleagues, suspects & victims alike.
This first book in the series, have now invested in the next two, starts with the murder of a homeless man, a former dentist, that to all but Cross looks straightforward. It's far from that, what follows is absorbing investigation, a Cold Case, that's linked to another event in the past.

A different take on mysteries
These stories of DS Cross give a completely different view of people involved in murder and police detection. And how any of us could fall into murdering. Basically it shows a goodness in humanity in all characters. Caring for one another regardless of mistakes and faults. Interesting take on the shady world of murder and policing and of disabilities. Interesting.

Very complex
Great complex read, (listen) will definitely listen to more in the series, always unsure what direction Cross’s thinking will take him next

A detective who is different
I really enjoyed this book, DS Cross is definitely different and sometimes cringeworthy but he gets results by logic and meticulous attention to detail. His colleagues admire his results but don’t always understand him. The story took several twists and turns which kept me listening when I should have been doing other things! The narrator was great and easy to listen to. Great book

Character of DS Cross is exquisitely drawn
A pedant and a pain in the arse who gets results. This is great storytelling and was refreshing

New Detective
Very enjoyable , Cross a very interesting character.
Not hiding the fact that the main character has Asperger’s syndrome was very good.
