About this listen

DS George Cross delves deep into the world of dirty politics in this Bristol detective series perfect for fans of Peter James and Joy Ellis.

At first glance, the murder of Peggy Frampton looks like a burglary gone wrong. But DS George Cross, with his meticulous methods, thinks otherwise. The victim, a former mayor of Bristol, is now an online influencer whose forthright opinions attract the kind of attention that most people would like to avoid.

There's no shortage of suspects. Cross's investigation will lead him from Peggy's unfaithful husband to her gambling-addicted son, to a scorned former lover with a grudge. But she also has political enemies in her past.

Cross will have to navigate a dark maze of seedy connections to find the truth–but can he do it before the killer strikes again?

The Politician is a part of the DS George Cross thriller series, which can be read in any order.

“I am insanely in love with George Cross, a perfect detective for our time and for all time” STEPHEN FRY

“Sullivan has given us a British detective for the 21st century who will be hard to forget” DAILY MAIL

Heartbreaking End

As usual a brilliant story and well performed (bar a few mispronunciation that George would hate) again two parallel stories that mirror each other leading to an ending that tugs the heartstrings.

Such a sensitive novel

I found this a fascinating novel to listen to - the crime story dropped into the background and we found out so much more about DS George Cross. It was written so sensitively - his Asperges issues are taken as a norm of his character, enabling Tim Sullivan, the author to reveal things in a typical peremptory manner, whilst revealing other complexities of such a person. The other characters in the book also play important parts in assisting our discovery of not only George's character but also the perpetrator of the crime. Other side plots are fascinating. The narration reflected the awkwardness of George's character too. Thank you for such a great series!.

Another excellent story

Another great story as usual. The reader sometimes gets his pronunciations wrong eg. At school we learned that the letter ‘a’ is never pronounced as ‘ay’ because it is unimportant and should never be emphasised. This reader emphasises every ‘a’ .
