Uurija George Cross on jäme, kangekaelne ja halb suhtleja. Aga tema loogika ja visadus ning tihtipeale ka pedantsus on need, mis viivad vastusteni seal, kus ta kolleegid jänni jäävad. Kui lammutatavatest garaazhidest leitakse laip, hakkab Cross kildudest tõde kokku panema. Kes on surnud mees? Lähtepunkte on vähe, detailid__ näiteks päevitusjooned ja veidrad armid kätel__ viitavad ühele ja teisele poole. Amatöörjalgrattur? Dopingukasutaja? Kokk?Eelarvekärped, kannatamatud kolleegid, Crossi viisa kaks kasvatada üritav paariline, valetavad ja hämavad tunnistajad_- kõigest sellest hoolimata kulgeb Crossi juurdlus tavalisel visal ja üksikasjalikul moel. Oma koha Crossi märkmetes leiavad muuhulgas kadedus, ambitsioonid, kibestumus, rahapesu ja kuueteistaastane lapse ootaja.

Bristoli politseiuurija Cross on kohmakas suhtleja, põikpäine ja juhuti tahtmatult jäme. Aga tema raudne loogika ja visa järjekindlus tähendavad, et Crossi kuritegude lahendamise protsent on riigi politseijõudude kõrgeim.Olles ise diagnoositud autist, mõistab Cross paremini inimesi, kes päriselt ühiskonna normidele ei vasta - neid, kelle häält ei taheta kuulda. Nüüd otsib Cross tõde hiljuti surnud noore naise kohta. Naisel on pikk uimastisõltuvuse ajalugu, nii et politsei kuulutab surma pikemalt mõtlemata enesetapuks või üledoosiks. Tema ema on aga veendunud, et asi pole sugugi nii, sest tütar oli juba aastaid kaine ega mõelnud sugugi enesetapule.Ning siis leiabki Cross kahtlase detaili, mis muudab tema jaoks asja, ja ülemuste vastuseisust hoolimata avab juhtumi uuesti. Ning päevavalgele hakkab tulema hulgaliselt nii oodatut kui ka ootamatut.Tim Sullivani "Uurija Crossi" sarjast on varem ilmunud krimiromaan "Rattur".

Første bok i den bestselgende krimserien om den autistiske politietterforskeren George Cross, en forkjemper for outsiderne, de stemmeløse og de hjemløse.Etterforsker George Cross kan være både uforskammet og vanskelig å ha med å gjøre, og han er sosialt klønete. Men han besitter også en urokkelig logisk sans og en rå standhaftighet, og har høyest oppklaringsprosent av alle i Bristol-politiet.Når kollegene hans avfeier dødsfallet til en mann som en krangel blant de hjemløse som har gått for langt, er ikke Cross overbevist. Han dykker ned i den døde mannens fortid, og jo mer han finner ut, jo mer blir han overbevist om at nøkkelen ligger i en uoppklart drapssak, en cold case, fra flere år tilbake - et drap noen har sluppet unna med i femten år.
