Detective Chief Inspector Jane Tennison is in top form. A year on from
her first murder enquiry, when with the help of her team she led the
hunt for and successfully nailed the cunning serial killer George
Marlowe, she has built on her success and consolidated the hard won
respect of her colleagues. So she is gratified but not surprised when
Superintendent Kernan calls her back from a conference to head up a
new, potentially complicated murder enquiry.
