In \u003cem\u003eVanished\u003c\/em\u003e, Jack is the only one who believes an eccentric widow's claims that she's being stalked by her former lodger - until she is found murdered and the case widens into an international drugs operation. Finally, \u003cem\u003ePure Evil\u003c\/em\u003e begins as a straightforward armed assault case but spirals darker when Jack's mentor, DCI Ridley, is abruptly removed from his post with no explanation, leaving Jack to work out how deep the corruption runs. Across all four novels, La Plante's trademark authenticity - drawn from decades of research into real police work - drives fast-paced, believable plotting, while Jack Warr emerges as a compelling, flawed lead distinct from her earlier creations like Jane Tennison.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete 4-book Jack Warr series in brand-new paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten by multi-award-winning crime author Lynda La Plante\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGritty, authentic British police procedurals with twisting plots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect gift for crime and thriller readers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat value way to collect the full series in one set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact paperback format, easy to read and store\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nLynda La Plante was born in Liverpool and trained for the stage at RADA, working with the National Theatre before becoming a television actress.
