    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    Don't miss THE BOOKSELLER, the latest George Cross Mystery - available now.

    A burglary gone wrong - or a staged murder?

    George Cross loves puzzles, and the crime scene at the home of Bristol's former mayor is full of them. To most, it looks like a burglary gone wrong, but George can see this was murder.

    There's no shortage of potential killers: the online trolls the victim fought in her new life as a controversial blogger, her bitter political rivals, even her own family.

    With suspects everywhere and pressure mounting, George finds his usually impeccable logic challenged just when he needs it most.

    Because politics can be a dangerous game - especially for people who don't know the rules.


    Perfect for fans of MW Craven, Ann Cleeves and Joy Ellis
