Description
The first instalment in the bestselling Anna Travis series from the BAFTA-winning writer and author of Widows, now a major motion picture
Young Anna Travis has been assigned to her first murder case—a series of killings that have shocked even the most hardened of detectives. They started eight years ago—now the body count is up to six. The method of killing is identical, the backgrounds of the girls identical—all drug-users and prostitutes. Then a seventh body is found. The modus operandi is the same, but the victim is a young student with the 'face of an angel'. The profile of the murderer has changed dramatically.
Determined to earn the respect of her male colleagues, Anna stumbles on a vital piece of information which links one man to the killings, a much-loved actor on the brink of international stardom. His arrest would create a media frenzy. But if he were found innocent, his wouldn't be the only career over—Anna's hard-fought reputation would be destroyed once and for all...
'Lynda La Plante practically invented the thriller. Above Suspicion blew me away—it grabs you and doesn't let go until the last page' KARIN SLAUGHTER
'La Plante is building up an interesting body of writing that is underrated… Anna proves a resourceful and believable heroine and heralds the launch of a major new character' GUARDIAN
'The prime suspect here is an adored actor, poised to hit the big time. Could he really be behind a string of grisly murders? It's up to Anna Travis, La Plante's gutsy new heroine, to find out' MAIL ON SUNDAY
'Like Jane Tennison, Anna Travis has to work in a world which is still rampantly chauvinistic… it is a novel to read about the complexity of relationships, as well as for its compelling plot' DAILY EXPRESS
