Overview
This Jane Tennison Thrillers 3 Books Collection Set gathers the first three novels in Lynda La Plante's acclaimed prequel series to her legendary Prime Suspect saga. Following young Jane Tennison from her earliest days as a probationary officer through her toughest early cases, Tennison, Hidden Killers, and Good Friday trace the making of one of crime fiction's most iconic detectives. Perfect for fans of gritty British police procedurals, this brand-new paperback set delivers page-turning tension, authentic period detail, and the gripping origin story behind a beloved television legend that crime readers everywhere continue to discover.

About the Books
Long before she became the formidable DCI audiences know from Prime Suspect, Jane Tennison was a rookie constable navigating the male-dominated Metropolitan Police force of the 1970s. 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. Readers who loved the psychological intensity of Prime Suspect will find these origin stories just as compelling, offering fresh insight into the making of a legendary detective while standing strongly on their own as gripping, self-contained thrillers that reward careful, patient readers with a satisfying payoff.
