About this listen
What does it take to catch a predator who has terrorised southeast England for over 15 years?
Delroy Grant—dubbed the Night Stalker—was one of the nation's most wanted men, a shocking sex predator. During his 17-year reign of fear, he established a clear MO. Target an elderly woman, living alone. Visit them at night. Remove a window pane and slide in. Unscrew the lightbulbs. Cut the power at the electricity meter. Rip out the telephone wires. Tiptoe to the bedroom. Wake the victim by shining a torch in their eyes. What followed for his terrified victims was often unspeakable.
When SIO Colin Sutton was drafted into the case, Grant had been at large for over a decade. Stepping up where others had failed, he began the determined, relentless police work that had marked the end for infamous serial killer Levi Bellfield. Case by case, clue by clue.
Night Stalker is the chilling true story of one of the most testing manhunts the Metropolitan Police have ever undertaken. It is a glimpse into the heart of darkness—and into the mind and work of the brilliant detective who brought one of London's most feared monsters to justice.

but MAN - like with the other book on levi belfield - this guy is PAINFULLY tactful...
He always has to be so careful to pay compliments to everyone - always doffs his hat - always makes it clear how dedicated and skilful everyone was - always has to be self deprecating and humble.
He can never just go... "I couldn't stand this dickhead..." Or "I wanted to scream bloody mayhem I was so angry..."
Even when a cop makes a blunder during an investigation - so serious it has dire ramifications for years - he steps politely - making excuses for how it happened - maybe they were tired or overworked - perhaps an identity mixup - yes it was terrible but these things happen - and so on - as if criticising the police force or anyone in it might give him the plague.
Some people probably won't see this as a problem - or even notice what I'm talking about - but to me this tiptoeing eventually became very annoying...
I just want the writer to be honest - and I felt like his need to not offend got in the way of this...
Very good, but overly politic, in my view...
