| After the detective
in charge of a gruesome murder investigation suffers a heart
attack, DCI Jane Tennison seeks to prove her worth by taking
charge of the case. Faced with hostility from colleagues
and criminals alike, however, the policewoman must struggle to
assert her authority in the male-dominated world of
policing. Having uncovered a series of violent attacks
stretching back more than a decade, Tennison is determined to
charge the prime suspect, an apparently ordinary businessman
called George Marlow. But obtaining sufficient evidence
for a conviction proves far harder than she and her team had
imagined, particularly as Marlow's tough-talking common-law
wife, Moyra, clearly intends to stand by her man. The
first instalment in the hugely popular Prime Suspect series. |
