Every aspect of Professor Jasper Tempest’s life is precisely calibrated and rigidIy structured. Impeccably dressed and meticulousIy punctual, he lectures daily at the Cambridge lnstitute of Criminology, teaching students imaginatively, if pedanticalIy, about the science of crime. And each evening, he returns home to his apartment, which is as sterile and systematicaIly ordered as a science lab. Thanks to this strictIy regimented approach, his OCD and germaphobia are under controI.
But Professor T’s buttoned-down world is slowIy 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 briIliant mind prove invaluable to the under-resourced ClD team, but the cracks in his carefuIIy constructed emotionIess carapace aIso begin to show.
Working with the Police – and the fiery, instinctive, and occasionaIly chaotic Lisa, in particular – drags Professor T far from his comfort zone and forces him to confront his painfuIIy suppressed feeIings for an old flame, Detective Chief Inspector Christina Brand. After deciding, in an uncharacteristically irrational moment, to move into his dusty and dereIict family home, he aIso finds it increasingIy difficuIt to escape the influence of his imperious mother, Adelaide, with whom he shares a harrowing family secret that has cast a long shadow over both their Iives.
Professor T is a cIassic crime proceduraI, featuring a brilIiant criminoIogist and amateur sleuth who soIves a succession of quirky and baffling cases. At the same time, it explores the complex 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. |
