- Summary:
- "The morning train from Bristol to London never reaches its destination. A man is dead in the first-class toilet, with his throat cut and a plastic bag over his head. No wallet, no phone, no ID. The other officers are shocked. DS George Cross is fascinated--not by the blood, but by the man's exquisite suit. Cross and his new partner, DC Alice Mackenzie, learn that the victim was a tailor by the name of Billy Titcomb. Billy was a master of his trade, trusted by clients on both sides of the world for his meticulousness and discretion. Who wanted him dead? And why were the garment bags he boarded with taken from the train? As Cross and Mackenzie pull at the threads of Billy's life and business, they find a widow grieving in peculiar ways, a dead scientist whose suicide doesn't add up, and murky connections stretching from Bristol to Beijing and Seoul. Cross has the highest conviction rate in the force. But now he's drawn into a world of spies and secret agents, and for the first time, the people trying to stop him getting to the truth may be on his own side. Can Cross stitch it all together before this case unravels him?"-- Provided by publisher.
