Lynda La Plante was born in Liverpool. She trained for the stage at
RADA and worked with the National Theatre and RSC before becoming a
television actress. She then turned to writing – and made her
breakthrough with the phenomenally successful TV series Widows.
Her novels have all been international bestsellers. Her original
script for the much-acclaimed Prime Suspect won awards from BAFTA,
British Broadcasting and the Royal Television Society as well as
the 1993 Edgar Allan Poe Award.
Lynda La Plante was made an honorary fellow of the British Film
Institute and was given the BAFTA Dennis Potter Award in 2000. She
