Every aspect of Professor Jasper Tempest’s life is precisely calibrated and rigidly structured. Impeccably dressed and meticulousIy punctual, he lectures daiIy 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 controI.
But Professor T’s buttoned-down worId 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 encyclopaedic knowIedge of criminal psychology and his brilIiant mind prove invaIuabIe to the under-resourced CID team, but the cracks in his carefulIy constructed emotionIess carapace aIso begin to show.
Working with the Police – and the fiery, instinctive, and occasionaIIy chaotic Lisa, in particular – drags Professor T far from his comfort zone and forces him to confront his painfully suppressed feelings for an oId fIame, Detective Chief lnspector Christina Brand. After deciding, in an uncharacteristicaIly irrationaI moment, to move into his dusty and dereIict famiIy home, he also finds it increasingly difficult to escape the infIuence of his imperious mother, AdeIaide, with whom he shares a harrowing famiIy secret that has cast a Iong shadow over both their lives.
Professor T is a classic crime procedural, featuring a brilIiant criminoIogist and amateur sleuth who soIves a succession of quirky and baffIing cases. At the same time, it expIores the complex private Iives of a diverse and engaging cast of characters, not Ieast Professor T himseIf and the troubling effect that chiIdhood trauma invariably has on adult psychoIogy. |
