Deep in the heart of a heartless city... She could have been any homeless, nameless young woman trying to escape Seattle's mean streets. Except the sixteen-year-old who stumbled into the shelter that night was missing a lot of blood, and something even more vital... Somewhere between life and death... For police woman Daphne Matthews, it was bizarre enough to call on the best cop she knew... especially when a search turned up more than she knew... especially when a search turned up more mutilated corpses. For ex-homicide detective Lou Boldt, it was the kind of case he couldn't resist. And for Elden Tegg, healer, only path to salvation... and immorality... Lurks the angel maker. And now, as the body count rises, tow cops try one last, desperate ploy. But they'd better start praying. Because it will take a miracle to stop a killer who's about to make one final, unforgettable contribution to humankind...

This is the second in the series of crime solvers Lou Boldt, the retired-cop-turned-Mister-Mom, and Daphne Matthews, the psychologist with a past and the scars to prove it.When a series of corpses begin to turn up missing their internal organs, Daphne begins to put two and two together ------John Glover's unique interpretation of each character gives a riveting, frantic read to the story. He manages to keep you wound up with anticipation. I would get this book solely on the reader's ability to keep the tension level at such a high peak.This is a book a couple levels above your everyday, garden variety serial killers and psychos. This book can be a little graphic in its descriptions of the operations, a little more than CSI on ?TV.Pearson is too good a writer not to listen to this book.
