So when DCI Shefford falls ill, the opportunity for Tennison to get herself noticed finally arrives. But the boys are not happy and every one of her colleagues is willing her to trip up. Desperate to remove all doubt around her suspect, Tennison struggles to make the charges stick. And then a second body turns up. With the team against her, and a dangerous criminal still on the loose, DCI Jane Tennison must fight to prove herself, now or never.

What we think of this book & ideas for gifting
The book that begun the phenomenally successful ITV series starring Helen Mirren, first broadcast in 1991, this is the first novel to introduce the wily, brilliant and tough Detective Chief Inspector Jane Tennison. It’s pacy and thrilling and will have your recipients turning pages furiously.
