Thriller Police Procedural
How do you solve a problem like Anna Travis? With plenty of
action, of
course! BLOOD LINE is a thrilling and layered British crime
procedural that
is just as intriguing on the last page as it was on the first.
Anna is now the Detective Chief Inspector and on the first
murder case
of her new position. But how do you solve a murder without a
body? The
only thing they have to go on is the blood at the scene of
the probable
crime. She needs to find the missing person that goes with
that blood.
It doesn't look like this will be a very easy case but she
needs to prove
herself. This unpredictable investigation will shock and
amaze you in every
chapter. Anna Travis is a strong and capable female
character that carries
this book through until the very end.
Wow, how can you not love how fast-paced this BLOOD LINE is?
It never slows
for very long and the twists and turns keep coming from all
sides. BLOOD LINE was so exciting I kept reading for hours
on end. Lynda La
Plante just doesn't not waste any time at all!
This seasoned series is a must-read for those of you who
love crime
novels. I have grown to love these books more and more as
the series
goes on. BLOOD LINE seems to be the best plotted and paced
of the bunch (so
far, at least!) and I can't wait for the next.
SUMMARY
Still reeling from the death of her fiance, Detective Anna
Travis has thrown herself into her new role as the chief
inspector for London's murder squad. When Scotland Yard's
missing persons bureau is unable to locate the son of a
court employee, the superintendent—James Langton, Anna's
former lover turned sometimes friend—urges her to take on
the suspicious assignment. But is this new investigation purely a missing persons
case—or a full-blown murder inquiry? An ominous pool of
blood with no locatable victim leads Anna on a desperate
hunt for a man who has disappeared without a trace. With no
body, and increasing pressure to make an arrest, Anna
becomes obsessed with the smallest details of the case. Now,
one man has vanished, a killer may be loose on the streets,
and, as Langton looks on, Anna Travis may be losing control
of the investigation—and of herself.
