| Summary: | "To find a murderer, you need a motive . . . DS George Cross has always wondered why his mother left him when he was a child. Now that she is back in his life, he suddenly has answers-but this unexpected reunion is not anything he's used to dealing with. So when the body of a monk is found savagely beaten to death in a woodland near Bristol, Cross is eager to throw himself into the case. The problem is, no one in the Bristol station has any leads. Nothing is known about Brother Dominic's past. How can Cross unpick a crime when they don't know anything about the victim? And why would someone want to harm a monk? Cross's dogged investigation reveals that while the monk was a much-loved and respected friend and brother, he was also a very wealthy man-before 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"-- Provided by publisher. |
