Поза підозрою

Старший інспектор Джеймс Ленгтон і детектив-новачок Анна Тревіс розслідують справу про вбивство сімох жінок, що стала першою для Анни. Усі вони були повіями, замордованими з невідомих причин. Усі... окрім сьомої. Адже сьомою жертвою стала не повія, а невинна дівчина з янгольським обличчям. Детективам здається, що вони натрапили на слід, вирахували вбивцю і от-от виведуть його на чисту воду. Але незабаром з'ясовуються нові обставини, що відкидають їх на початок розслідування, позбавляючи всіх доказів та припущень. Чи буде ця спроба вбивці заплутати слідство та розпочати нову гру вдалою? Щойно здається, що вбивцю буде от-от схоплено, як він знову опиняється поза підозрою. Адже весь час перебуває занадто далеко від місця злочину. І занадто близько до самої Анни... -

Форма: роман Оригинальное название: A Face in the Crowd Дата написания: ~1992 Первая публикация: December 14, 1992 Язык: Английский Аннотация
The coroner’s report identifies the body as young, black, female, and impossibly anonymous. Yet one thing is clear to Detective Chief Inspector Jane Tennison about the latest victim discovered in one of London’s poorest districts—that news of her murder will tear apart a city already crackling with racial tensions, hurling Scotland Yard and Tennison herself into a maelstrom of shocking accusations and sudden, wrenching violence. Even as London’s brutal killer remains at large, Tennison remains locked in a struggle to overcome her station house’s brutal chauvinism and insidious politicking. And as the department’s deeply rooted racism rears its head to overshadow every facet of her new investigation, the trail of her prime suspect is growing colder. Worse, when the details of the beleaguered detective’s stormy personal life explode across the headlines of London’s sleaziest tabloids, Tennison’s already frenzied determination to bring the killer to justice will be catapulted into obsession—one that could send her spiraling over the edge. -

The drag queen named Vera Reynolds swayed on-stage singing "Falling in Love Again." And a sixteen-year-old boy lay in Vera's fire-engulfed apartment . . . very, very dead. He was a "rent boy," a sex-for-hire street kid who catered to the tastes of special customers. It was the kind of murder Soho's Vice Squad saw often. But the influential do-gooder who was a prime suspect in this one made the young boy's death different--a ticking bomb able to blast open the nasty, secret lives of politicians, judges . . . and cops. Detective Jane Tennison had moved up the career ladder through sheer guts and an unstoppable passion for justice. Now, on her first day as the head of the Vice Squad, she caught a case threatening to wreck her career. She had been told whom to arrest--and whom to back off from-in the murder of the "rent boy." And she couldn't go with the program. She knew a destroyer of children was out there. She knew she had a choice: to save her future or go after him like an avenging angel, and damn the consequences to hell . . . -

A motorway service station on the M1: dimly lit, run down, poorly supervised, flickering lights, dark corners; a favourite stopover for long-distance lorry drivers on their way up north from London. Behind it, a body is found in a ditch, that of a girl barely out of her teens. She appears to have no family, no friends, no connections anywhere. Other girls have gone missing in the vicinity and no one has stepped forward to claim them. Anna Travis is assigned to the case. Her blood runs cold when she receives a letter from a lifer -- someone she was responsible for arresting in the past -- who writes to her from prison, asking her to visit him urgently. For he claims he knows who the killer is…
