Overview
Step back into 1970s London with this gripping three-book bundle from the Jane Tennison prequel series, following the young detective as she claws her way up the ranks of a male-dominated Metropolitan Police force. Covering books four through six, Murder Mile, The Dirty Dozen, and Blunt Force plunge Tennison into escalating cases of violence, corruption, and moral compromise. Fans of gritty procedural crime fiction will find a compelling mix of period atmosphere, sharp investigative detail, and a heroine whose determination never wavers, even as the cases around her grow darker and more dangerous.

About the Books
This collection captures Jane Tennison at a pivotal stage of her career, years before she becomes the hardened DCI audiences met on television. Set against the backdrop of 1970s London, each novel drops her into a fresh, high-stakes investigation while the pressures of sexism, office politics, and personal sacrifice continue to build around her. In Murder Mile, a spate of brutal killings tests Tennison's resolve and forces her to confront how far she is willing to go to secure justice. The Dirty Dozen finds her navigating a case riddled with police corruption, where trusting the wrong colleague could cost her everything. Blunt Force raises the stakes further with a murder investigation that exposes darker undercurrents within the force she serves. Across all three books, La Plante draws on her deep knowledge of criminal investigation to deliver plots that feel authentic and tense throughout. Readers who enjoyed Prime Suspect will recognize the DNA of that story here. Each title works as a satisfying standalone mystery, yet together they build a rich portrait of a young detective becoming the formidable investigator she is destined to be.
