The Dentist: A DS George Cross Mystery (DS George Cross Mysteries Book 1)

The first book in Tim Sullivan's DS George Cross Mysteries series, which has sold over 1,000,000 copies. Detective Sergeant George Cross is on the autism spectrum. He struggles with everyday social interactions, but his single-mindedness, attention to detail, and persistence have made him the most successful detective at the Bristol station, with a 97% conviction rate. When an elderly homeless man's body is found on the edge of Clifton Downs, George insists on examining every detail, even as his colleagues dismiss the death as random violence. His investigation into the victim's past uncovers a connection to a case that has been cold for fifteen years. The same tragedy that caused the victim's homelessness may also have led to his murder. Despite skepticism from colleagues, including his partner Josie, George is determined to solve both cases and arrest the killer who remains at large.
