The Cyclist

A DS Cross Thriller

De: Tim Sullivan

Narrado por: John Heffernan

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 relentless pursuit of justice means his conviction rate is the best on the force. So when a ravaged body is found in a local demolition site, it's up to Cross to piece together the truth from whatever fragments he can find.

The demolition began at dawn. Walls knocked over. Twisted pipes uprooted. Window frames smashed. A dead body unearthed...

DS Cross has little to go on, but from the faint tan lines on the body, and strange scars on his forearms, an identity gradually emerges: a young man; an amateur cyclist; a supply of performance enhancing drugs. But what led this man to his death? Soon, Cross has mounted an investigation that will uncover jealousy, ambition and a family tearing itself apart... An investigation that could cost him his career.

Great book....

Second in the Series, definitely as good as the first, and the narration is terrific...not to be missed!

George the Cyclist

DS Cross and his entire team, his father, and the local priest are in full form and getting better. The author paints each character so vividly I can see and hear them. As with the first book, the ending is more than expected. I had to hear this 3 or 4 times as well and have learned something new each time.

An unusual but believable detective!

This detective is evolving as the series progresses but his discernment never falters. The crimes are believable and almost sad in their humanity. The stories are as well written as they are compelling and the reader’s voice was just right.

Still very good

Everything you might have liked about the first book, you will also find here. We have some character development to top things off, so definitely a good book to listen to.

The Cyclist

I love the unfolding of the working relationships and the realist value of learning to navigate Asperger’s
