THE ATTACKS WON'T STOP. NEITHER WILL SHE.

LONDON 2027 Terrorists deploy lethal nerve gas London Black at Waterloo Station, killing 10% of London's population. DI Lucy Stone should have died-but she didn't, all because of something she'll spend the rest of her life atoning for.

LONDON 2029 Two years later, Lucy is kept alive by precious booster shots. Copy-cat strikes plague the city. When London's most important scientist is brutally murdered, Lucy discovers he was potentially working on an antidote. But her booster shots are no longer working as well as they used to, and time is running out.

Will Lucy find the antidote - and catch the killer- before it's too late?

Reviews for London in Black

'London in Black is a truly absorbing novel - an all-day-on-the-couch read if ever there was one. Its vision of the near future is plausible enough to be legitimately frightening... an unusually compelling thriller and will, I hope, be the first of many from him' - Kevin Brockmeier, author of The Brief History of the Dead 'A taut and timely blend of crime and dystopia' - Alex Scarrow, author of the DCI Boyd thrillers ''A skilfully rendered homage to London, with a dystopian police procedural woven in. It's a compelling debut by Jack Lutz, with a protagonist you want to root for, and a fast-paced mystery at its heart. Excellent!'' - Guy Morpuss, author of Five Minds 'Noir meets dystopia in this genre bending, whirlwind of a read. Lutz's terrifying imagined future is startlingly relevant to our own troubled present. Read if you dare' - Amy Lilwall, author of The Biggerers 'This dark dystopian thriller has the makings of being one of the best first novels out this year... powerful and unsettling... has the potential to become a cult classic' - Shots Magazine
