Prime Suspect PDF


 Prime Suspect is a gripping crime novel that introduces Detective Chief Inspector (DCI) Jane Tennison, a strong-willed, ambitious woman working in a male-dominated police force in London.

Plot Summary:

When George Marlow, a man with a criminal past, becomes the prime suspect in the brutal murder of a young woman named Delia Mornay, DCI Tennison is unexpectedly assigned to take over the case after the original lead investigator dies of a heart attack. This is a rare and controversial move, as women rarely lead such high-profile investigations at the time.

Tennison faces resistance and sexism from her male colleagues, who doubt her abilities and try to undermine her at every step. Despite the challenges, she remains determined to prove herself. She works tirelessly, uncovering inconsistencies in Marlow’s alibi and linking him to other unsolved murders of women with similar profiles.

As the case unfolds, Tennison not only battles the killer's manipulations but also struggles with internal politics and personal conflicts. Her commitment to justice pushes her into dangerous territory, but she ultimately exposes the truth — Marlow is indeed a serial killer who carefully targeted vulnerable women and covered his tracks well.

In the end, Tennison earns respect for her dogged determination and skillful handling of the investigation, though she also comes to realize the personal cost of being a woman in such a demanding role.
