NOW A MAJOR TV DRAMA STARRING MARTIN CLUNES
What does it take to catch one of Britain's most feared killers?

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

Levi Bellfield is one of the most notorious British serial killers of the last fifty years - his name alone evokes horror and revulsion, after his string of brutal murders in the early 2000s.

At 3:07pm on 21st March, 2002, Milly Dowler left her school in Surrey for the last time. Less than an hour later, she was to be abducted and murdered in the cruellest fashion, sparking a missing person investigation that would span months before her body was found.

In the two years that followed, two more young women - Marsha McDonnell and then Amélie Delagrange - were murdered in unspeakably brutal attacks.

Yet with three murdered women on their hands, and few leads open to them, investigating officers were running out of ideas and options, until SIO Colin Sutton was drafted into the investigation for the murder of Delagrange. Seeing a connection between the three women, and thriving under the pressure of a serial killer hunt, Sutton was finally able to bring their murderer to justice after the case had begun to seem hopeless.

Manhunt tells the story of how he led the charge to find a mystery killer, against the clock and against the odds - day by day and lead by lead. At once a gripping police procedural, and an insight into the life of an evil man, this is the story behind what it takes to track down a shockingly violent murderer before he strikes again.

I really enjoyed this. Really good story - and well read too.
There's is - however - one thing I don't always love about these written-by-one-who-was-there dramas - and that's the fact that the writer plainly knows all his old colleagues are going to read the book - and therefore has to remain painfully politic about his treatment of the story. They can't write - or feel they can't write - for instance - I opened my office door and there stood DS Smith - an egotistical prat whom I could never stomach - and the last thing I wanted was to have DS Smith on my team.. etc etc
Sutton goes out of his way to remain dutifully tactful and polite to everyone - paying compliment after compliment to all his old workmates - which - I'm afraid to say - simply doesn't ring true. To me - that is... I suppose it's possible he really did work with an entire raft of wonderful fabulous personnel - and it was devoid of dipshits and knobheads - but if you're going to write a warts-n-all tell-all account about a police enquiry - put away the timidity and tell it like it was! EG - so and so fucked up and I wanted to punch his lights out... So and so was a giant bulb and he had a massive bug up his ass... That sorta thing
Anyway - that's all... my two cents... it's a pretty minor complaint considering...

Really good work...

The author is perhaps a little conceited from time to time but it is probably warranted given his responsibility for finding and prosecuting a killer. I listened to it in a couple of days and found it riveting both in terms of the investigative process, the internal politics and every now and then making the most of a stroke of luck!

Compelling story that I remember as it was happening in real time

A fascinating insight into just how much actually goes into getting a conviction! Utterly terrifying. I rarely write reviews- only do so when I’m impressed. Well done Colin- looking forward to the next one 👍🏻✅.

Excellent!
