Don't miss this prequel to the hit crime series and Netflix film Luther: The Fallen Sun starring Idris Elba. Written by the Edgar Award-winning creator and sole writer of the show!

Meet Detective Chief Inspector John Luther. He's a murder detective. He's brilliant; he's intense; he's instinctive. And yet there are rumours that DCI Luther is bad - not corrupt, but tormented.

Hailed by The Guardian as "Britain's own Stephen King," this is the story of the serial killer case that tore Luther's personal and professional relationships apart and propelled him over the precipice, beyond fury, beyond vengeance, all the way to the other side of the law.©2011 Neil Cross (P)2011 W F Howes Ltd Crime Fiction Mystery Suspense Thriller & Suspense Fiction Crime Exciting Scary

I bought this book to have Idris Elba in my head for a while.......also because the fabulous David Bauckham reading.
The story is gripping from the start dragging me into a world where there are goodies and very baddies but the lines are blurred.
Brilliantly read as every David Bauckham narration is, each character an individual easy to indentify from little girl to sleaze bags.
A marvellous find.

I'd want him on my side!

Very harrowing in places, especially the graphic descriptions of violence and abuse against children and animals, nearly gave up because of it but really glad I didn't. I would definitely read more, hoping there's another one soon!

Brilliant!

I love Luther so this was irresistible. Very hard to listen to bits of it, especially the gratuitous cruelty to animals, but a totally brilliant ending. Zoe is a self obsessed cow!
