Der Kriminalist
Der erste Fall für Detective Cross
Wer ist der erdrosselte Obdachlose, dessen Leiche in den Clifton Downs bei Bristol gefunden wird, und warum musste er sterben? DS George Cross kann mit sozialen Konventionen nichts anfangen, für seine Kollegen ist er oft schwierig im Umgang. Doch dank seiner Besessenheit für Logik, Muster und jedes noch so kleine Detail, ist seine Aufklärungsrate die beste der ganzen Einheit. Und so hegt er sofort Zweifel, als seine Kollegen nach einem Leichenfund in einem Bristoler Park zu dem Schluss kommen, dass der Tod des Mannes die Folge eines Streits unter Obdachlosen sein muss. Cross beginnt, in der Vergangenheit des Opfers zu graben, und merkt schnell, dass es Verbindungen zu einem alten Fall gibt. Einem Mord, der fünfzehn Jahre nicht aufgeklärt wurde. Und der Täter hat nicht vor, sich nach so vielen Jahren von diesem exzentrischen Kommissar das Handwerk legen zu lassen … Intelligent, feinfühlig und unglaublich fesselnd: der grandiose Auftakt einer Krimireihe mit einem einzigartigen Ermittler!

Jelikož chybí jakékoli stopy, kriminální oddělení chce případ uzavřít. Koroner tvrdí, že žena byla drogově závislá. Její matka je však přesvědčená, že to není pravda.Detektiv Cross je odhodlán vzepřít se svým šéfům a případ znovu otevřít, i kdyby ho to mělo stát kariéru. Brzy zabředne do spletité sítě podezřelých – ovšem dokáže pravdu zjistit dřív, než ho jeho nadřízení nadobro uzavřou?
