Jane Tennison

From the creator of the award-winning ITV series Prime Suspect, starring Helen Mirren, comes the fascinating back story of the iconic DCI Jane Tennison. In 1973 Jane Tennison, aged 22, leaves the Metropolitan Police Training Academy to be placed on probationary exercise in Hackney where criminality thrives. We witness her struggle to cope in a male-dominated, chauvinistic environment, learning fast to deal with shocking situations with no help or sympathy from her superiors. Then comes her involvement in her first murder case. 'Classic Lynda, a fabulous read' — MARTINA COLE **Lynda La Plante's Widows is now a major motion picture** Jane Tennison's sharp instincts and hard work made her one of the top cops at Scotland Yard, but she's still an outsider when it comes to the boys' club running the force. When her latest investigation--the murder of a presumed prostitute--has her butting heads with colleagues yet again, she's more determined than ever to find justice for the victim. Tennison catches the one clue that's fallen through the cracks, and realizes a madman has been stalking women in London's shadowy streets. She tries to keep her emotions in check as she becomes obsessed with cracking the case, but station-house politics, a crumbling relationship, and a wickedly elusive prime suspect threaten to push her over the edge.
