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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCross's dogged investigation reveals that while the monk was a much-loved and respected friend, brother, he was also a very wealthy man--and 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"27th Letter Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67392037748781,"sku":"WHS-b5c9a87dd0ef40baa4db8d823df347be","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/3588\/0749\/files\/original_2ca5ec32-3b0f-4841-871b-a623916cc394.jpg?v=1787359450","url":"https:\/\/27thletterbooks.com\/products\/monk-a-ds-george-cross-mystery","provider":"27th Letter Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
