Klappentext

'I am insanely in love with George Cross, a perfect detective for our time and for all time' Stephen Fry 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 M.W. Craven, Peter James and Joy Ellis, The Politician is part of the DS George Cross thriller series, which can be read in any order. 'True characters, a fresh setting, and a good mystery - this one's got the lot.' The Morning Star 'We've had sleuths on the autistic spectrum before but Sullivan's copper is among the most distinctive characterisations.' Financial Times 'DS George Cross is as arresting as the cases he solves.' Richard E Grant Why readers love George Cross . . .
