Four compelling police procedural investigations. Four detectives who know that the obvious answer is rarely the right one. From Yorkshire and Oxford to Brighton and London, Alan Banks, Adam Fawley, Roy Grace and Jane Tennison uncover crimes rooted in obsession, secrecy, organised crime and deeply troubled relationships. As each case takes a darker turn, the pressure mounts and the line between victim, suspect and perpetrator becomes increasingly difficult to perceive.
Peter Robinson, 'Many Rivers to Cross' - A boy's body is found in a wheelie bin on a Yorkshire estate. DS Alan Banks traces two apparently unconnected deaths to the organised crime networks running beneath the surface of Eastvale.
Peter James, 'Want You Dead' - When a controlling and abusive ex-boyfriend obsessively seeks revenge, Detective Roy Grace steps in to stop him, amid his own personal problems.
Lynda La Plante, 'Prime Suspect' - DCI Tennison overcomes institutional sexism to lead a complex serial murder investigation after proving the wrong man is behind bars.
Cara Hunter, 'Close to Home' - When eight-year-old Daisy Mason vanishes from a garden party, DI Adam Fawley knows the statistics point uncomfortably close to home. The Masons' brittle marriage cracks and the window for finding her narrows with each revelation.
