Author's's 6th TENNISON novel.                    Visually the exterior appearance is exceptional and particularly internally,is also in an exceptional condition/state of preservation and presentation.It is only the minimal faults described that prevents a slightly higher grading.Despite that,it really is still an exemplary example for its cleanliness,brightness and lack of other detracting faults. Things can't get much worse for detective Jane Tennison.                                        Unceremoniously kicked off the adrenaline-fuelled Flying Squad,she's been relegated to 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: Charlie Foxley has been found viciously beaten to death,his body dismembered and disembowelled.                    As a big-time showbiz agent,Foxley had a lot of powerful friends - but even more enemies.And alongside her old friend DS Spencer Gibbs, Tennison must journey into the salacious world of show business to find the killer, before they strike again . . . In Lynda La Plante's most gripping thriller yet,Tennison discovers that the brightest lights hide the darkest secrets - and the killer doesn't always hide in the shadows . . .
