About this deal

I have on my audio books 174 titles, and I wish I could say they were all hers, but sadly not all available. Helena Lanark is the only one who knows about the horrors which once occurred in her family's house. Getting used to the change in command in CID it has not stopped her ambition to become a detective and when she gets the chance to work undercover to try to stop the spate of attacks on women she doesn’t think twice even if it could put her in danger. Prime Suspect starred Helen Mirren as DCI Jane Tennison, airing in the UK as well as on PBS in the United States as part of the anthology program Mystery! When a photograph appears in the newspapers, showing Jane assisting the injured at the scene, it puts her and her family at risk from IRA retaliation.

After this turning point in her life, Lynda signed her first book-deal with Pan MacMillan, who helped her publish her very first novel, The Legacy, in 1987. I’ll say no more, other than that Jane acquits herself admirably – it’s pretty exciting stuff, and undoubtedly will be good for her career. Set around the time of the IRA bombing campain in London Good Friday puts Jane in the middle of possibly her most dangerous investigations albeit from the sidelines. When an eccentric widow claims she is being stalked by her former lodger, Detective Jack Warr is the only person who believes her wild claims. She is also well-known as Lynda Marchal, which was her stage name when she performed with the Royal-Shakespeare Company in several productions.

We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. The problem is that when she tries to impress she often goes off alone, takes unnecessary risks and leaves colleagues feeling that she’s holding out on them, to keep the best information to herself. Jane Tennison is a feisty character who is determined to succeed in a profession that at the time was dominated by men and where women were often seen as an inconvenience and distraction best suited to office work.

The second book, once again following the Lorraine Page plot-line, is all about Page’s new place on the force and her first stab at finding a serial killer on her own. Lynda La Plante is the first layperson to be awarded an honorary fellowship to the Forensic Science Society. The heiress of an immense family fortune, she keeps the secret to the horror which once occurred with.While her more experienced colleagues move on swiftly from one criminal case to another, Jane is often left doubting their methods and findings.

This should be scandalous, but seems very realistic, as is the reaction of Jane’s superior officer who has come up against the Catholic Church before. This amount includes seller specified domestic postage charges as well as applicable international postage, dispatch, and other fees. The book cover has no visible wear, and the dust jacket (if applicable) is included for hard covers. More than anything else, La Plante’s writing career was generated by famous books Cold Blood,Cold Shoulder and Cold Hard. In 2008, she was awarded a CBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours List for services to Literature, Drama and Charity.She trained for the stage at RADA and worked with the National theatre and RSC before becoming a television actress. When the investigation uncovers an international drugs operation on the widow's property, the case grows even more complex.
