To apprehend the criminal stalking women through the city's shadows, Tennison will have to steel herself against the hostility of her fellow officers and conceal her own mounting obsession with breaking through the glass ceiling of the station house-even as department politics, a crumbling relationship, and a wickedly elusive prime suspect threaten her very existence.įans of Sue Grafton’s Kinsey Millhone books and the work of Kathy Reichs or Karin Slaughter will be immediately drawn to La Plante’s Jane Tennison, the remarkable, no-nonsense police woman who laid the groundwork for all the rest who followed. Now the police are a step behind, and a madman is loose on the streets of London. And second, that their murder victim isn't Della Mornay.
