About this ebook
Don't miss THE BOOKSELLER, the brand new DS Cross Thriller - available now.
'Every generation has its iconic detective - Holmes, Poirot and Morse - but Cross is emerging as the one for now. Treasure him.' DAILY MAIL
'George Cross is becoming one of my favourite detectives.' ELLY GRIFFITHS
He's a victim. But is he innocent?
THE BODY
In a village in South West England, an elderly man is found dead in his home. The angle of his neck says he fell down the stairs. The stab wound on his body tells a different story.
THE EVIDENCE
In the weeks before his murder, Alistair Moreton changed. He usually kept himself to himself, but people swear there was someone in the house when they checked on him, that there was a reason he wouldn't let them inside.
THE PUNISHMENT
Moreton made people's lives a misery, from his neighbours to his ex-pupils. While DS George Cross's list of suspects is long, every victim deserves justice.
But in all of Alistair's years, there was something important he never learned:
If you go through life making enemies, don't be surprised when they teach you a lesson.
Perfect for fans of MW Craven, Peter James and Joy Ellis, The Teacher is part of the DS George Cross thriller series, which can be read in any order.

Bought all 6 books at same time based on other reviews and have not been disappointed with a single one. The only hardship has been rationing them over the last few months. These books would make an excellent tv series. To any new readers I would suggest reading in order as the development of all the characters is part of what makes them such an excellent read. The plots themselves have so many twists and turns but are never ludicrous or obvious. They are definite page turners.
