Jane Tennison is now a fully-fledged detective. On the way to court one morning, Jane passes through Covent Garden Underground station and is caught up in a bomb blast that leaves several people dead, and many horribly injured. Jane is a key witness, but is adamant that she can't identify the bomber. When a photograph appears in the newspapers, showing Jane assisting the injured at the scene, it puts her and her family at risk from IRA retaliation.
It is a while since I read about Tennison and this story doesn't disappoint. She has started in a new department called the Dip Squad and is trying to find her feet. She has also bought her first home and shares her home with someone for the first time so there is a nervousness to her story all the way through. We get to meet her colleagues and see relationships forming. Add in the IRA and threats of bombs and the fact that the IRA are watching her and the tension is palpable. A great read.
