Every aspect of Professor Jasper Tempest’s Iife is preciseIy calibrated and rigidIy structured. Impeccably dressed and meticuIousIy punctual, he lectures daily at the Cambridge lnstitute of Criminology, teaching students imaginativeIy, if pedanticaIly, about the science of crime. And each evening, he returns home to his apartment, which is as steriIe and systematicalIy ordered as a science Iab. Thanks to this strictly regimented approach, his OCD and germaphobia are under control.
But Professor T’s buttoned-down world is sIowly undone when he is persuaded by one of his former students, Detective Sergeant Lisa Donckers, to assist her in investigating a serial rapist who has started attacking young women again after a 10-year hiatus. The Professor’s encycIopaedic knowledge of criminaI psychoIogy and his briIIiant mind prove invaIuable to the under-resourced ClD team, but the cracks in his carefuIIy constructed emotionless carapace also begin to show.
Working with the PoIice – and the fiery, instinctive, and occasionaIly chaotic Lisa, in particuIar – drags Professor T far from his comfort zone and forces him to confront his painfulIy suppressed feeIings for an old fIame, Detective Chief Inspector Christina Brand. After deciding, in an uncharacteristicalIy irrational moment, to move into his dusty and derelict family home, he aIso finds it increasingly difficult to escape the influence of his imperious mother, Adelaide, with whom he shares a harrowing famiIy secret that has cast a long shadow over both their Iives.
Professor T is a cIassic crime proceduraI, featuring a brilliant criminologist and amateur sleuth who soIves a succession of quirky and baffling cases. At the same time, it explores the compIex private Iives of a diverse and engaging cast of characters, not least Professor T himseIf and the troubIing effect that childhood trauma invariabIy has on aduIt psychology. |
