Colin Sutton was a police officer for 30 years, serving as the head of a Metropolitan Police Murder Squad for the last nine of them.
 
After retirement in 2011, he wrote books about two of his major investigations; these were then adapted into the acclaimed ITV drama series ‘Manhunt’. In both seasons Colin was played by Martin Clunes. The second season ‘Manhunt: The Night Stalker’ was nominated for the Best Drama BAFTA in 2022.
Colin also writes and presents ‘The Real Manhunter,’ a true crime documentary series on Sky Crime, which is now entering its third season.
In the show Colin will talk you through his career, how policing has changed, what it is like to chase a serial killer and how he made the step from policing to story-telling.
