Blind Fury
Detective: DI Anna Travis
Location: London
Time: Current
Genre: British Police Procedural
This is the sixth in the sequence of Anna Travis novels. As her career has developed, Travis is no longer the the "non team player" which has caused her problems, particularly with her superior and on time lover, DCS Langton, although she still stands out as an intuitive detective.
The plot concerns the rape and murder of two young women and a prostitute near a motorway service station and the offer of help frm a life-imprisoned murderer with a degree in psychology. (shades of Hanibal Lecter) A main suspect is identified early on and although there is a brief period when another character falls into the frame, this is very much a "how are they going to prove it" rather than a "who done it"
The convict offers marginal help but interacts with Travis' personal life with tragic consequences
