Acerca de este libro electrónico

Seattle detectives hunt for black market organ thieves in the New York Times– bestselling author's "potent blend of medical thriller and police procedural" ( Kirkus ).

Urban legend, or frightening fact? Police Sergeant Lou Boldt and forensic psychologist Dephne Matthews suspect illegal organ harvesting is behind recent assaults on teenage runaways. The trail leads them down dark streets and darker corners of the mind, as they find themselves pursuing a twisted surgeon with his own ideas of mortality and social justice.
The Angel Maker takes the reader on an action-packed journey from Seattle's homeless to an abandoned homesteading cabin and kennel hidden in the Northwest wilderness. Daphne Matthews, intent on rescuing a teenage runaway from the madman's scalpel, puts her own life on the line, finding herself face to face with the Angel Maker.
"Award-winning author Ridley Pearson carves out and serves up a thriller that will make you look twice at your local veterinarian." —Book Magazine
