'Lynda La Plante practically invented the thriller' Karin Slaughter
Everybody has a story to tell . . .
Detective Chief Inspector Jane Tennison has moved up the ranks, fighting every step of the way to break through Scotland Yard's glass ceiling. Now, on her first day as the head of the Vice Squad, a high-profile case threatens to destroy everything she has worked for.
When Tennison's latest investigation reveals an influential public figure as her prime suspect – a man with connections to politicians, judges and Scotland Yard – she's given a very clear message about the direction her investigation should take.
In a case defined by murky details, one fact becomes indisputably clear – that for Tennison, going after the truth will mean risking her happiness, and maybe her career.
Based on the award-winning TV series starring Helen Mirren.

Lynda La Plante was born in Liverpool. She trained for the stage at RADA and worked with the National Theatre and RSC before becoming a television actress. She then turned to writing – and made her breakthrough with the phenomenally successful TV series Widows. Her novels have all been international bestsellers. Her original script for the much-acclaimed Prime Suspect won awards from BAFTA, British Broadcasting and the Royal Television Society, as well as the 1993 Edgar Allan Poe Award. Lynda La Plante was made an honorary fellow of the British Film Institute and was presented with the BAFTA Dennis Potter Award in 2000. She was awarded a CBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list in 2008 and was inaugurated into the Crime Thriller Writers’ Hall of Fame in 2009. In 2024 she was the joint recipient, with James Lee Burke, of the Crime Writers' Association's Diamond Dagger award for an outstanding lifetime's contribution to the crime and mystery fiction genre, and her memoir, Getting Away with Murder, won the True Crime Book of the Year at the Capital Crime Fingerprint Awards in 2025.
