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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tim Sullivan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802168221\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802168221\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Atlantic Crime\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/07\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Tim Sullivan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47930561462527,"sku":"9780802168221","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f39bc94c-f60b-4dbd-9155-8099fcb6b34a.jpg?v=1766342659","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-monk-tim-sullivan-9780802168221","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
