The Basket Case

Description

Bloomsbury presents The Basket Case by Tim Sullivan, read by Finlay Robertson. The brand new DS George Cross short story - available to pre-order now. 'One of the most iconic British fictional detectives of the 21st century.' DAILY MAIL Five go up. Four come down... Detective George Cross receives a very bizarre call from a distressed family after their picnic was horribly interrupted. Just as they were about to tuck into their sandwiches, a human arm landed unceremoniously next to them. Soon, another limb followed. As they looked up, they were horrified to see a decaying, disarticulating body perched at the top of a very tall tree. DS George Cross is an exceptional detective but it doesn't take a genius to work out what needs answering first: How on earth did it get up there?
