Blood Line - Lynda La Plante

London's Detective Chief Inspector Anna Travis returns in the seventh installment of her popular series of thrillers from award-winning and international bestselling author La Plante, author of the Prime Suspect novels. Award-winning and international bestselling author Lynda La Plante brings back her popular series character, London Detective Chief Inspector Anna Travis of the Murder Squad, to work a seventh case in Blood Line . La Plante, who bestselling crime fiction author Karin Slaughter ( Blindsided ) says practically invented the thriller, is best known for her Prime Suspect novels, the basis for the wildly popular BBC series starring Helen Mirren and a recent U.S. incarnation featuring Maria Bello. In Blood Line , Anna takes on a high profile missing person investigation which might well develop into the hunt for a murderer, especially when a pool of blood is discovered but no body. Crime fiction fans who appreciate a good cop and a good murder--especially Ian Rankin, Ruth Rendell, Elizabeth George, Peter Robinson, and Val McDermid readers--will be eagerly following the trail of evidence every step of the way.
