Luther - The Calling

I quite enjoyed Luther - The Calling by Neil Cross which is a murder thriller set in London. DCI Luther is obsessed with his work to the exclusion of all else, including his wife. A particularly gruesome murder takes place and a baby is stolen. The murderer strikes again and a child is taken. Luther uses "unconventional" means to find the murderer and try to retrieve the child. The author as he says has "done this the wrong way round." He wrote the screenplay for the "Luther" TV series and this book is a "spinoff" of that work. A scary suspenseful story, which makes it a good thriller. 4/5
