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.
