Lorraine Page is left to figure out if she wants to come forward with the fact that she, herself, witnessed the attempted murder of the victim who escaped. In Prime Suspect 3, internationally bestselling author Lynda La Plante’s no-nonsense detective, Jane Tennison, takes on the most insidious nemesis she’s ever faced -- her own mounting obsessions.

Dedicated, intuitive, and utterly obsessive, DCI James Langton is ruthless in his pursuit of a gang of illegal immigrants, the murderers of a young prostitute. His Bob Lee Swagger series took the world by storm in the 90s, and he has a new collection of novellas this month featuring Bob Lee, Earl and Charles. These books revolve around private detective Lorraine Page, who used to have everything she could have ever wanted, but soon found herself left out on the street with no one and nothing. I have finally stopped kicking myself for taking so long to read this series as it is completely addictive.
In the footsteps of Jane Tennison, immortalized by Helen Mirren in Prime Suspect, comes Anna Travis, a rookie female detective about to embark on her first murder case. Lynda La Plante on her sixth young Tennison novel and hopes to revive Prime Suspect with Helen Mirren". Initially the focus is on identifying the victim, until another body is found hidden in the walls of the shelter. She is responsible for over 170 hours of primetime TV, including the perennially popular Prime Suspect, and her classic Widows.
As a retired police officer myself, I can say that she explores and provides in-depth knowledge of police and forensic procedure to a really high level, and that alone is very impressive considering she was never actually a serving police office herself. Jane Tennison has been been promoted to the role of Detective Constable in London's Bow Street CID but she is struggling with some of the decisions her colleagues are making.
Vanished follows on from Buried and Judas Horse, with the series’ origins in La Plante’s iconic bestselling Widows. The old boys network was working overtime, to wrong foot her and get her removed, especially if she had been made their superior. La Plante's older sister Dail was killed in a road accident, at the age of five, before she was born. 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. Seconded to the bomb squad her temporary boss puts her in a situation that may literally see her in the line of fire.
And as the hunt for the widow's lodger hits dead end after dead end, it seems that the prime suspect has vanished without a trace.
