When the Night Comes Falling

Instant New York Times Bestseller

"Compelling. . . . Blum capably maintains the suspense and thoughtfully probes into the motives of key players in this intriguing yet profoundly unsettling story."--Kirkus Reviews

From the bestselling author of The Spy Who Knew Too Much and American Lightning comes the definitive account of the Idaho student murders--an updated paperback edition in time for the long-anticipated trial.

Timed for a trial that will capture national attention, When the Night Comes Falling examines the mysterious murders of the four University of Idaho students. Having covered this case from its start, Edgar award winning investigative reporter Howard Blum takes readers behind the scenes of the police manhunt that eventually led to suspected killer, Bryan Christopher Kohberger, and uncovered larger, lurid questions within this unthinkable tragedy.

Reminiscent of the panoramic portraiture of In Cold Blood and The Executioner's Song, When the Night Comes Falling offers a suspenseful, richly detailed narrative that will have readers transfixed.
