The Baker

Murder is both a science and an art.

Brian Fothergill co-owns a thriving Bristol bakery with two close friends that was built on a shared dream: to use their success to give something back, offering opportunities to those most often overlooked.

Brian has always believed in doing good, in giving people second chances.

So how has he ended up head down and lifeless at the bottom of an industrial dough mixer?

Even in a place built on kindness, pressure can build. But who turned up the heat?

DS George Cross is back to find out.

The next gripping instalment in the million-copy selling George Cross mysteries.
