The Hunter
A Christmas short story in the DS Cross thriller series.
When DS George Cross is informed that his mother will be joining him and his father for Christmas this year, he is sent into a tailspin. How on earth is he meant to know what present to get her?
Soon after, one cold winter morning, Cross goes to inspect a dead body found tangled in thick hedgerow on the outskirts of private farmland. It appears the young man was trying to scramble through the hedge when he died, that he was running away from someone...
With frost on the ground obscuring evidence and secretive neighbours not giving anything away, finding the killer won't be easy. But even with the odds stacked against him, DS Cross is more confident in solving this murder than successfully working out what to get his mother for Christmas…
