Linda La Plante is a well-known English writer, screenwriter, and former actress. She appeared in several popular television productions but became famous as a screenwriter for the series "Widows" and "Prime Suspect" featuring Helen Mirren in the lead role; for...
these scripts, La Plante received the Edgar Allan Poe Award ("Edgar") — the main American award in the detective genre, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Award, and the American Emmy Award — the television equivalent of the Oscar. In 1994, she founded her own television company, "La Plante Productions." In 1997, her novel was adapted into a full-length feature film "The Godmother" ("The Best Half of the Mafia"), which was a great success worldwide. Linda La Plante is an honorary member of the British Film Institute and has been awarded the Order of the British Empire. In her literary work, Linda La Plante prefers extraordinary, imaginative crimes and the exceptional skill of those who ultimately solve these crimes. Her novels featuring the detective from the London police's homicide department, Anna Travis, are particularly popular. How are the gruesome death of a black prostitute and the murder of a modest London librarian connected? Why did the London police need to seek the help of voodoo magic specialists? Detective Anna Travis and her former boss and lover, Jimmy Langton, are forced to piece together two, three... four seemingly independent cases! Despite the brutal ferocity of the criminals, who almost sent Langton to his grave, and the inventiveness of the gang of illegal immigrants, human traffickers, and drug dealers, the stubborn police officers still manage to tie all the threads together. A clean job!
