LONDON 2027. Terrorists deploy a highly sophisticated nerve agent called London Black at Waterloo station - for an unfortunate section of the population, what follows is agonising physical deterioration and usually death. LONDON 2029. DI Lucy Stone is called in to investigate the gruesome murder of the scientist who developed an antidote to the nerve agent. It is a daily boost, making life bearable for the 'Vulnerables' - but isn't a cure. Lucy suspects the scientist might have been working on a permanent solution to the nerve agent. If she can recover it, she might permanently end the bane of London Black for herself and the other Vulnerables. But is the antidote real, or a figment of Lucy's desperation? And can she solve the case before her daily boosts - already beginning to lose their effect - leave her defenceless against the horrors of London Black?

"London in Black" is the debut novel by Jack Lutz. The novel jumps between 2027 and 2029, the former being the year when a VZ Gass type biological weapon was released in London causing thousands of deaths. 2029 deals with the murder of a prominent viral scientist and billionaire and the question whether he has developed an antidote. A fast paced whodunit with many twists and turns. The writing style is a bit different and takes getting used to but thoroughly enjoyable. 3.5/5
