Before Valentine's Day of 2013, Pistorius was best known as an extraordinary athlete, the Blade Runner who became the first amputee in history to compete in the Olympics.  Everything changed when he shot his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, dead in the early hours of 14 February. With unique access to Pistorius himself, as was as his friends and family, Carlin paints a portrait of a complex personality, a man whose heroic rise and even more dramatic fall is one of the most remarkable sports stories ever told.
