The politician / Tim Sullivan.
A ransacked room. A dead politician. A burglary gone wrong-or a staged murder? DS George Cross loves puzzles-he's good at them-and he immediately spots one when he begins investigating the death of former mayor Peggy Frampton. To most, the crime scene looks like a burglary that went horribly wrong. But George can see what others can't: This was murder. After her political career ended, Peggy became a controversial blogger whose forthright opinions attracted a battalion of online trolls. And then there's her family: an unfaithful husband and a gambling-addicted son. With yet more enemies in her past, the potential suspects are unending. Cross must unpick the never-ending list of seedy connections to find her killer-but the sheer number of suspects is clouding his usually impeccable logic. He's a relentlessly methodical detective, but no case can last forever. And politics can be a dangerous game-especially for people who don't know the rules.
