En kvinna hittas död i sitt badkar, med ett sovande litet barn i rummet bredvid. Rör det sig om en olycka - eller om ett till synes perfekt genomfört mord?
När Jane Tennison befordras till kriminalassistent i Londondistriktet Bow Street drabbas hon direkt av inre konflikter. Hennes långt mer erfarna kollegor rör sig snabbt från det ena fallet till det andra, medan Jane ofta tvivlar på deras slutsatser. När hon blir involverad i ett fall som rör en rad våldtäkter tvingas Jane sätta sitt eget liv på spel. Ska hon anpassa sig till polisdistriktets allmänna linje - eller riskera sin position genom att trots allt söka sanningen?

Tennison (Tennison, #1)
av Lynda La Plante
»Otroligt välskriven.« Betyg 4 av 5 | MAGNUS UTVIK, GOMORRON SVERIGE

»En riktigt välskriven, spännande och intressant deckarhistoria som jag gärna läser en fortsättning av. Betyg 4 av 5« | MEST LENAS GODSAKER

I Tennison skildrar Lynda La Plante författaren bakom den brittiska kriminalserien Prime Suspect [I mördarens spår] - än en gång huvudpersonen Jane Tennison: den här gången som nyutexaminerad polis i problemdistriktet Hackney i östra London.
Året är 1973 och i den manschauvinistiska polismiljön tvingas Tennison snabbt lära sig hantera chockerande situationer utan någon som helst hjälp eller sympati från sina överordnade. Snart blir hon involverad i sitt första mordfall: en ung, heroinberoende kvinna har hittats död. Strypt.
Brittiska Prime Suspect är en av de mest innovativa kriminal-TV-serierna någonsin. För sin realism och råa ton, men mest för huvudpersonen Jane Tennison, en av de första kvinnliga TV-deckarlegenderna (spelad av Helen Mirren).
Även Tennison har nu adapterats för en TV-serie - med manus av Lynda La Plante själv - och kommer att premiärvisas i brittisk TV under hösten 2016.

LYNDA LA PLANTE, född i Liverpool 1943, är en brittisk romanförfattare och manusförfattare. Hon tilldelades det prestigefyllda litteraturpriset Edgar Allan Poe Writers Award för TV-serien Prime Suspect. Serien vann även en Emmy Award.

Good Friday
av Lynda La Plante
BEFORE PRIME SUSPECT THERE WAS TENNISON.Every legend has a beginning . . . During 1974 and 1975 the IRA subjected London to a terrifying bombing campaign. In one day alone, they planted seven bombs at locations across central London. Some were defused - some were not. Jane Tennison is now a fully-fledged detective. On the way to court one morning, Jane passes through Covent Garden Underground station and is caught up in a bomb blast that leaves several people dead, and many horribly injured. Jane is a key witness, but is adamant that she can't identify the bomber. When a photograph appears in the newspapers, showing Jane assisting the injured at the scene, it puts her and her family at risk from IRA retaliation. 'Good Friday' is the eagerly awaited date of the annual formal CID dinner, due to take place at St Ermin's Hotel. Hundreds of detectives and their wives will be there. It's the perfect target. As Jane arrives for the evening, she realises that she recognises the parking attendant as the bomber from Covent Garden. Can she convince her senior officers in time, or will another bomb destroy London's entire detective force? 'La Plante excels in her ability to pick out the surprising but plausible details that give her portrayal of everyday life in a police station a rare ring of authenticity' Sunday Telegraph
