"Deeply complex and carefully crafted, this novel is a thrilling
question mark all the way to the end, and it puts North's storytelling
skills on full display.... The Angel Maker, his best so far, is a
superb addition to his already impressive oeuvre."

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Whisper Man and
The Shadows comes a dark, suspenseful new thriller about the mysteries
of fate, the unbreakable bond of siblings, and a notorious serial killer
who was said to know the future.**
Growing up in a beautiful house in the English countryside, Katie Shaw
lived a charmed life. At the cusp of graduation, she had big dreams, a
devoted boyfriend, and a little brother she protected fiercely. Until
the day a violent stranger changed the fate of her family forever.
Years later, still unable to live down the guilt surrounding what
happened to her brother, Chris, and now with a child of her own to
protect, Katie struggles to separate the real threats from the imagined.
Then she gets the phone call: Chris has gone missing and needs his big
sister once more.
Meanwhile, Detective Laurence Page is facing a particularly gruesome
crime. A distinguished professor of fate and free will has been brutally
murdered just hours after firing his staff. All the leads point back to
two old cases: the gruesome attack on teenager Christopher Shaw, and the
despicable crimes of a notorious serial killer who, legend had it, could
see the future.
