Series: George Cross Mysteries

Don't miss THE TAILOR, the brand new mystery in the million-copy-bestselling George Cross series - available to pre-order 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 2025 Crime Writers' Association Dagger in the Library Award longlistee.

Why readers love George Cross . . .

'A clever mystery full of tension but also humour and compassion. George Cross is becoming one of my favourite detectives.’ Elly Griffiths 'In DS George Cross, Tim Sullivan has created a character who is as endearing as any I’ve ever come across in this genre. His quirks are his gift, and with Sullivan’s tremendous plotting and superb writing, this series is a gift to readers.'
