Immerse yourself in a tense crime investigation with this engaging read. Prime Suspect 2: A Face in the Crowd by Lynda La Plante is a paperback thriller that continues a popular series. From a celebrated British author, it brings authentic detective stories to readers globally.
Lynda La Plante practically invented the thriller. Detective Chief Inspector Jane Tennison has moved up the ranks, fighting every step of the way to break through Scotland Yard's glass ceiling. Now, on her first day as the head of the Vice Squad, a high-profile case threatens to destroy everything she has worked for.
When Tennison's latest investigation reveals an influential public figure as her prime suspect - a man with connections to politicians, judges and Scotland Yard - she's given a very clear message about the direction her investigation should take. In a case defined by murky details, one fact becomes indisputably clear - that for Tennison, going after the truth will mean risking her happiness, and maybe her career.
Based on the award-winning TV series starring Helen Mirren. Lynda La Plante was born in Liverpool. She trained for the stage at RADA and worked with the National Theatre and RSC before becoming a television actress. She then turned to writing - and made her breakthrough with the phenomenally successful TV series Widows. Her original script for the much-acclaimed Prime Suspect won awards from BAFTA, British Broadcasting and the Royal Television Society as well as the 1993 Edgar Allan Poe Award.
