But his unfailing logic and dogged pursuit of the truth means his conviction rate is the best on the force.

Now, Cross is untangling the truth about a young woman who died three days ago.

Aside from the fact that they are brothers, Peter and Ivan Koubek seem to have little in common. Peter is a Dublin lawyer in his thirties - successful, competent and apparently unassailable.

Ivan is a twenty-two-year-old competitive chess player. He has always seen himself as socially awkward, a loner, the antithesis of his glib elder brother.
