The dentist / Tim Sullivan.

Sullivan, Tim, 1958- (author.).

Summary:

"George Cross is on the autism spectrum. He struggles with simple daily interactions but his single-mindedness, attention to detail and fierce persistence make him the most successful detective in the Bristol station with a 97% conviction rate. When the body of an elderly homeless man is discovered on the edge of Clifton Downs, George insists on scrutinizing the smallest details, even after his fellow officers dismiss the murder as an act of random violence. As he delves into the dead man's past, he discovers a connection to a case that has been cold for fifteen years. The same tragedy that led to the victim's homelessness may have also led to his death. Despite skepticism from his colleagues, including his partner Josie who as usual is both exasperated by and protective of George, he is determined to solve both cases -- and finally arrest the murderer who has roamed free."-- Provided by publisher.
