Luther: The Calling

Neil Cross

A brilliant standalone novel hailed as "some of the best crime fiction to hit bookstores this year" (Hollywood Reporter) and a prequel to the hit BBC America TV show Luther, by the Edgar Award-winning creator and sole writer of the show.Is Luther a force for good or a man hell-bent on self-destruction?Meet Detective Chief Inspector John Luther. He's a homicide detective with an extraordinary case-clearance rate. He's obsessive, instinctive, and intense. Nobody who ever stood at his side has a bad word to say about him. And yet there are rumors that Luther is bad--not corrupt, but tormented. After years of chasing the most depraved criminals in London's gritty underworld, he seethes with a hidden fury he can barely control, making him do things any other detective wouldn't and shouldn't do.Luther: The Calling 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.
