-Descripcion Original:

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. When one of them nearly kills him, Anna Travis nurses his wounds and bears the brunt of his frustrations, putting her own life and career on hold. But then one of Annas own cases -- the seemingly motiveless murder of a quiet, studious woman -- turns out to be linked with Langtons, and Anna becomes the gangs next target. As USA Today wrote of La Plantes Above Suspicion, There is no sugarcoating on this 100-proof police procedural. La Plantes growing legions of fans will not be disappointed. From Publishers Weekly In La Plantes solid third police procedural to feature London Det. Insp. Anna Travis (after 2007s The Red Dahlia), Annas lover and superior, Det. Chief Insp. Jimmy Langton, is knifed while investigating the murder of a young prostitute. As Anna helps him recuperate, Jimmy becomes obsessed with catching his assailant, rumored to be Clinton Camorra, a notorious drug trafficker and voodoo practitioner. Anna discovers another link to Camorras gang of illegal immigrants in one of her own murder cases, the apparently motiveless killing of a woman by Arthur George Murphy, who also practices voodoo. After Arthurs sister and niece are murdered and another niece and nephew disappear, Anna suspects that not only is Camorra behind the crimes but that she may be the next target. Though her stance on illegal immigration is sometimes too strident for the story to support, La Plante has created another damaged heroine almost as appealing as her inimitable Jane Tennison. (Oct.) Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. From Booklist Detective Anna Travis is back in another suspenseful crime drama. She and her boss, James Langton, are lovers, a fact they try to keep quiet, but when James is knifed during a murder investigation, and Anna spends time at his bedside, the relationship becomes public. Later, with James determined to find the man who nearly killed him, the team is temporarily distracted by another murder investigation, which, naturally, turns out to be connected to James’ knifing. Despite that tired convention, La Plante’s latest boasts a suspense-filled plot with devilish twists and an interestingly flawed hero and heroine. Another strong series entry from Prime Suspect scriptwriter La Plante. --Emily Melton About the Author Lynda La Plantes many novels, including the Prime Suspect series, have all been international bestsellers.
