When a sixteen-year-old 'rent boy,' a sex-for-hire street kid, is found dead in a drag queen's fire-engulfed apartment, Detective Jane Tennison finds herself in the center of the investigation-- one that threatens her career. As the new head of the Vice Squad, she is being told by higher-ups who to arrest and who to leave alone, as digging too deep could ruin the secret lives of politicians, judges-- and cops. Will Jane save her career, or will she avenge the boy despite the consequences?
""Chief Detective Inspector Jane Tennison has moved up the ranks, fighting every step of the way to break through the station house's glass ceiling. Now, on her first day as the head of the Vice Squad, a case comes in that threatens to destroy everything she has worked for. As Vera Reynolds, drag queen and night club star, swayed onstage singing "Falling in love again," a sixteen-year-old rent boy lay in the older man's apartment, engulfed in flames. When Tennison's investigation reveals an influential public figure as her prime suspect, a man with connections to politicians, judges, and Scotland Yard, she's given a very clear message about the direction some very important people would like her investigation to take."--Container."
