To find a murderer, you need a motive . . . THE DETECTIVE DS George Cross has always wondered why his mother left him when he was a child. Now she is back in his life, he suddenly has answers. But this unexpected reunion is not anything he's used to dealing with. When a disturbing case lands on his desk, he is almost thankful for the return to normality. THE QUESTION The body of a monk is found savagely beaten to death in a woodland near Bristol. Nothing is known about Brother Dominic's past, which makes investigating difficult. How can Cross unpick a crime when they don't know anything about the victim? And why would someone want to harm a monk? THE PAST Discovering who Brother Dominic once was only makes the picture more puzzling. He was a much-loved and respected friend, brother, son – he had no enemies. Or, at least, none that are obvious. But looking into his past reveals that he was a very wealthy man, that 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 . . .

Oerhört tjatig vad gäller vissa personlighetsdrag och agerande hos framförallt huvudpersonen. Om och om igen igenom hela boken nämns det. Vilket var frustrerande eftersom resten av boken var välskriven och mordmysteriet spännande och oförutsägbart.Det köndes som att någon glömde att redigera klart just de tjatiga bitarna, synd. Hade lätt blivit en stark 4 från mig annars.
