The definitive, inside story of the Idaho murders from acclaimed bestselling author Howard Blum, whose groundbreaking coverage of the story was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize.

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

When the Night Comes Falling examines the mysterious murders of the four University of Idaho students that captured national attention. 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 the convicted killer, Bryan Christopher Kohberger, and uncovered larger, lurid questions within this unthinkable tragedy.
