TENNISON

The first book in the sensational Jane Tennison series

The Kray twins may be behind bars but the streets of London are still rife with drugs, robbery and murder.

1973, in the East End of London, a young WPC Jane Tennison joins the toughest ranks of the Hackney police force as a probationary officer.

When her first case comes in, a woman savagely beaten and strangled to death, Jane is thrown in at the deep end. But the victim’s autopsy is just the beginning of Tennison’s harsh initiation into the criminal world . . .
