The year is 1977. The Yorkshire Ripper is on the loose murdering prostitutes in the Yorkshire city of Leeds. Two men-a journalist and cop-find their own lives turned over in the desperate race against time to stop the murders. The second volume of a quartet which covers a period of ten years, Nineteen Seventy Seven confirms the promise of Nineteen Seventy Four, David Peace's first novel.
