Four investigations. Four TV detectives known for their instinctive tenacity and dogged determination. Jane Tennison takes on a murder that exposes London's racial fractures, fighting resistance from every direction. Roy Grace enters a nightmare that started with a single act of honesty. John Rebus and Siobhan Clarke follow bones in a cellar into a maze of violence and political manipulation. In Edinburgh, Karen Pirie discovers that a dead man's unfinished manuscript may be the only key to a real disappearance. All four books make it very hard to put the light out.
Lynda La Plante, Prime Suspect 2: Face In The Crowd - Watching Tennison take on a city fracturing along racial lines is exactly why La Plante's series endures.
Peter James, Looking Good Dead - The moment Tom Bryce finds that disc, his life changes. James makes the terror feel impossibly close.
Ian Rankin, Fleshmarket Close - Rankin's Edinburgh is a city of buried things in this - one of the finest Rebus novels.
Val McDermid, Past Lying - McDermid builds this one like a locked-room puzzle. The ending is worth every twist to get there.
Excellent choice. I have only read 3 books so far but have enjoyed them immensely and I am looking forward to the next book. I have bought from bookhound before and will again. Thank you.
