Whole life sentence

£9.99

Newly promoted Detective Chief Inspector Jane Tennison has elbowed her way into the Area Major Incident Pool, or AMIP, an elite team investigating non-domestic murders. With her new position, she hopes things will change: the rampant sexism, the snide remarks, the undermining. Then she gets her first assignment: a five-year-old cold case of a missing teenager no one else has any interest in investigating, and an assumed suicide Tennison suspects is, in fact, murder. But as Tennison gathers the crucial evidence to secure arrests, her new colleagues watch like vultures circling prey. And one by one the cases that she has built from the ground up are taken from her – and the glory along with them.

Description

THE FINAL EVER DETECTIVE JANE TENNISON THRILLER – AND THE PREQUEL TO TV HIT PRIME SUSPECT – FROM SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING CRIME FICTION ICON, LYNDA LA PLANTE.
_____________________________

DETECTIVE JANE TENNISON’S POLICE CAREER HANGS IN THE BALANCE: A SINGLE STEP FROM GLORY – OR RUIN.

While she has elbowed her way into an elite team investigating non-domestic murders, there is nothing elite about her first assignments: a missing teenager cold case and an apparent suicide Tennison suspects is, in fact, murder.

But as she uncovers explosive evidence, Tennison’s new colleagues watch like vultures circling prey. And, one by one, the cases no one else wanted are taken from her – and the glory along with them.

Now Tennison has had enough: of the rampant sexism, snide remarks and undermining. It’s time to take what is rightfully hers from those who have held her back.

She just has to do what she does best: find her prime suspect . . .
