Lynda La Plante in Conversation: Vanished 2022

Join BAD: All About Crime to watch Lynda La Plante, bestselling novelist and award-winning scriptwriter of so many gripping TV crime series, in conversation with Sue Turnbull about Vanished, her latest Detective Jack Warr thriller, and her sensational career.

Vanished

An eccentric widow claims she is being stalked by her former lodger, and Detective Jack Warr is the only person who believes her wild claims. Days later, she is found brutally murdered in her home. When the investigation uncovers an international drugs operation on the widow's property, the case grows even more complex. To find answers, Jack must decide how far is he willing to go - and what he is willing to risk - in his search for justice.
