Tennison opens the story in 1973, as 22-year-old Jane leaves training academy for a probationary post in Hackney, London, a district rife with crime and corruption, where she must prove herself amid entrenched sexism and brutal casework. Hidden Killers continues her journey as Jane advances within the force, only to find herself pulled into darker, more dangerous investigations that test both her instincts and her resolve. Good Friday raises the stakes further, plunging Jane into a high-tension case shadowed by violence and political unrest, forcing her to confront the personal costs of a career she is determined to build on her own terms. Across all three novels, Lynda La Plante draws on her deep knowledge of criminal investigation and 1970s London to build a richly detailed world, blending procedural authenticity with the emotional stakes of a young woman fighting to be taken seriously in a hostile profession.
