Broken Angels: A Gripping Thriller that Uncovers the Dark Secrets of Technology Evolution On a frigid December night, Karen sits at the edge of Philadelphia's Schuylkill River, dressed in a flowing gown like a visitor from the distant past. Her beautiful and shining young body is coated in a glistening patina of ice, giving her an ethereal and otherworldly appearance. At first glance, one might not even notice that she is dead. The Homicide cops, Kevin Byrne and Jessica Balzano, take the lead on the case, uncovering a plethora of eerie clues, each more warped and spine-chilling than the last. Yet, the identity of Karen's pitiless killer remains a mystery. As the investigation unfolds, the next victim is found upriver at an abandoned waterworks, posed with an unlikely object in her clasped hands. Struggling to link the victims and make sense of the madman's agenda, Byrne and Balzano follow his twisted trail, which stretches into a past of dark crimes forgotten by all but a few. Sifting through suspects and clues, they unearth a shocking secret history, a legacy of malevolence and coldblooded retribution dating back twenty years. This razor-sharp and jolting thriller from acclaimed author Richard Montanari coils back in time to deliver a fiendish mystery, a shattering revelation, and one hell of a wild ride.
