Sullivan's foray into novel-writing began with the creation of the DS George Cross series. The first two books were self-published and quickly gained popularity, with over 200,000 downloads. This success led to the attention of Head of Zeus publishers, who published the following books in the series. The novels are set in Bristol, England, and feature Cross's unique and sometimes infuriating methods that have earned him the nickname "a thorn in my side" from his boss DCI Carson. Despite this, Cross's conviction rate is the best in the force, thanks to his dogged persistence and attention to detail. The fourth book in the series, "The Patient," was published on March 3rd, 2022.
