Jane Tennison must navigate the salacious world of theatre to solve a murder in the heart of London's West End.

Things can’t get much worse for detective Jane Tennison. Unceremoniously kicked off the adrenaline-fuelled Flying Squad, she now plies her trade in Gerald Road, a small and sleepy police station in the heart of London’s affluent Knightsbridge. With only petty crime to sink her teeth into, Tennison can feel her career slowly flatlining.

That is until the discovery of the most brutal murder Jane has ever seen: big-time theatrical agent Charlie Foxley has been found viciously beaten to death with a cricket bat – his body dismembered and disemboweled.

Foxley had a lot of powerful friends – but just as many enemies. And alongside her old friend DS Spencer Gibbs, Tennison must journey into the salacious world of show business to find out which one is the killer, before they strike again.

Gripping, thrilling police procedural at its finest.
