When the Night Comes Falling (Paperback Edition)

The inside story of the chilling and perplexing Idaho student murders—from the bestselling author and former New York Times journalist whose reporting on the case has been nominated for the Pulitzer Prize.

On the morning of November 13, 2022, four students at the University of Idaho were found brutally killed in their off-campus home. No one knew why, or who was responsible. Nearly six weeks later, a suspect was arrested across the country in Pennsylvania. It was a crime that stunned the nation. Since the opening days of this shocking and perplexing case, Howard Blum has been reporting on these murders.

• Compelling and suspenseful, When the Night Comes Falling reveals:
• A minute-by-minute account of Bryan Kohberger’s cross-country trip with his father just weeks after the murders
• The shocking consequences of the feud between the FBI and the Idaho police task force
• Speculation concerning a drug connection to the murders
• Did the Idaho police deliberately give misleading information to the public?
• Who was the killer’s real target?
• What really happened inside the murder house on the morning of the killings?
• Is there a compelling DNA match between the suspect and the evidence found at the scene?
• Is Bryan Kohberger guilty?
• Why the judge granted a change in venue
• And much, much more . . .

Reminiscent of the panoramic portraiture of In Cold Blood and The Executioner’s Song, When the Night Comes Falling will have readers transfixed.
