Don't miss THE TAILOR, the brand new mystery in the million-copy-bestselling George Cross series - OUT NOW.
To solve a murder, you need to know your victim.
When a ravaged body is discovered on a building site in Bristol, the first job is to identify who the person is. Luckily, DS George Cross is famous for spotting clues that others overlook.
George needs a name to stand any chance of solving the murder, and while the man's identity remains a mystery, a picture is emerging. Faint tan lines and scars on the forearms reveal he was an amateur cyclist who used performance-enhancing drugs.
This man was ambitious, someone desperate to win - but at what cost?
And who took the final payment?
Perfect for fans of MW Craven, Ann Cleeves and Joy Ellis, The Cyclist is part of the million-copy-bestselling George Cross Mystery series, which can be read in any order, by the 2026 winner of the Crime Writers' Association Dagger in the Library Award.
