Newly promoted, Detective Superintendent Jane Tennison is still battling the male dominated bureaucracy of the police force on an almost daily basis. With only a handful of officers she can truly rely on, and with little that resembles a private life outside of her work, she is about to take on three challenging cases of murder and corruption, one of which will stir up a past that should have remained buried.
The Lost Child - A young mother is found lying in a pool of blood, her baby daughter missing and car stolen. It's a race against time to save the child's life. The mother's memory of a too-friendly stranger and a swift investigation of area pedophiles point to one suspect: child sex offender Chris Hughes. The warnings of clinical psychologist Patrick Schofield come too late to prevent a deadly hostage situation from arising as a daughter is torn from her mother and more than one life hangs in the balance.
Inner Circles - The murder of a mundane country club manager has been staged to look like a sexually perverse accidental suicide, but the evidence soon points to murder. Tennison finds herself caught up in a local conflict between middle-class politics and working-class rebellion that points to corruption in the field and on the force. When one murder leads to another, it will take Tennison at her strongest to break through a community's wall of silence and uncover the guiltiest party.
The Scent of Darkness - An old case comes back to haunt Tennison when a series of murders precisely replicate the prostitute killings of George Marlow. The victims are kidnapped, bound and eventually murdered, linked by their torture and the perfume of gardenias. Tennison finds her career on the line, as the evidence appears to prove that Marlow was innocent, and the real killer is still at large. But Tennison is far from convinced and risks her private life and her public career to uncover the truth.
