Scene of the Crime. Lynda La Plante. 2025.

The husband of a prominent and infamously ruthless barrister is found in a horrific condition after a robbery and brutal assault and is now in a coma.

A major investigation is launched using the newly formed and experimental Metropolitan Police Serious Crime

Analysis Unit.

Its leader, Jessica Russell, is an experienced CSI specialising in criminology, psychology and behavioural analysis. Her new team has dealt with every kind of murder and major crime scene - their expertise ranges from forensic DNA to blood spatter analysis, digital forensics and beyond.

Now they must piece together the complex puzzle at the heart of this brutal crime. If it was a robbery gone horrifically wrong, what was so important to have been stolen?
