The Bookseller : The must-read twisty mystery featuring the unforgettable DS George Cross for 2026

Don't miss THE TAILOR, the brand new mystery in the million-copy-bestselling George Cross series - OUT NOW. 'One of the most iconic British fictional detectives of the 21st century.' DAILY MAIL 'These are must-read detective novels.' MARK BILLINGHAM 'One of my favourite detectives.' ELLY GRIFFITHS SOMEONE'S ABOUT TO TURN THEIR LAST PAGE... A bookseller is found dead in his shop on a quiet square in Bristol, surrounded by rare books, first editions and a shocking amount of blood. DS George Cross, usually the first to spot holes in a suspect's story, is distracted. His father's recent diagnosis has left him unsettled, relying on others in a way he is not comfortable with. It's impacting the case - and himself - more than he'd like to admit. The truth only gets murkier as George uncovers tales of lost manuscripts and rival dealers, revealing how dangerous the rarefied world of bookselling can be - especially when the suspects are so familiar with crime novels. They know exactly how to get away with murder. Perfect for fans of MW Craven, Ann Cleeves and Joy Ellis, this is the seventh book in the bestselling 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.
