Dedicated, intuitive, and utterly obsessive, DCI James
Langton is ruthless in his pursuit of a gang of illegal
immigrants, the murderers of a young prostitute. When one of
them nearly kills him, Anna Travis nurses his wounds and
bears the brunt of his frustrations, putting her own life
and career on hold. But then one of Anna's own cases -- the
seemingly motiveless murder of a quiet, studious woman --
turns out to be linked with Langton's, and Anna becomes the
gang's next target. As USA Today wrote of La Plante's
Above Suspicion, "There is no sugarcoating on this
100-proof police procedural." La Plante's growing legions
of fans will not be disappointed.
