From the author of
Prime Suspect
comes a series about Anna Travis,
Lynda La Plante's​
most memorable female detective since Jane Tennison.
In the footsteps of Jane Tennison, immortalized by Helen Mirren in
Prime Suspect,
comes Anna Travis, a rookie female detective about to embark on her first murder case. The murders couldn't be more gruesome. The method of killing is identical, the backgrounds of the girls very similar—all are prostitutes. As the book opens, a seventh body is found, same modus operandi but the victim this time is a sweet young student. Anna stumbles on a vital piece of information that links one man to the killings, a well-known, much-loved actor. His protestation of innocence is convincing, and Anna might be succumbing to his flattering attention. What if he is arrested, the media erupts, and he is the wrong man?
