Description

To find a murderer you need a motive

THE DETECTIVE
DS George Cross has always wondered why his mother left him when he was a child Now she is back in his life he suddenly has answers But this unexpected reunion is not anything hes used to dealing with When a disturbing case lands on his desk he is almost thankful for the return to normality

THE QUESTION
The body of a monk is found savagely beaten to death in a woodland near Bristol Nothing is known about Brother Dominics past which makes investigating difficult How can Cross unpick a crime when they dont know anything about the victim And why would someone want to harm a monk

THE PAST
Discovering who Brother Dominic once was only makes the picture more puzzling He was a muchloved and respected friend brother son he had no enemies Or at least none that are obvious But looking into his past reveals that he was a very wealthy man that he sacrificed it all for his faith For a man who has nothing it seems strange that greed could be the motive for his murder But greed is a sin after all
