Readers will be presented with a novel that has drama ,mystery and Crime in its content.They notice a switch between narrative point of view and characters.The time when the events occur its not static.Although it begins in the present with the events occurring it skips on the past in things that are related to Bruce live. There are ten chapters and they need to be read in that order to understand the whole book.
The plots opens by introducing Bruce Loan and giving a short introduction of his life, mind and beliefs.Bruce in the moment the story is presenting is 42 years old.He has lost everything on his life and need to find meaning or he is going to get crazy.
Readers then learn more about how he lost his father in his early age.The story explores how he feels about that and how the event happened by returning back on time.The story of the book develops by narrating a crime case(which is not the main one happening in the book) of a mother and son killed in their home and how that is affecting on his world perception.
The focus then returns on his present (2013) when the main crime case of the book starts to get shape.He is on charge of investigation for a murder of a female under Telma River bridge.The case is so difficult for his mind because the victim was tortured and finally left with an angel mark on her chest.
The story develops more on investigating the crime but it turns back in times through his memory telling how he lost his wife Joan and his son Nick and how that affected him.
Those skips on time will become very usual in book in order to explain more of the story, with the killer getting more attention and killing more victims but in the same time more of the Bruce life getting reviled.

Bruce: But how you ares..
Steven: I was standing in my office when I received an anonymous call that told me to go and check this doctor ordinance if I want to catch that serial killer,
I went there with this young officer here and we found a lot of evidences that made us believe that he is the killer.
When we went there he wasnโt there but we found a lot of disturbing things.
Bruce: In his ordinance you found them.
Steven: Not entirely, there was the operations room another room and his personal room where it was a sofa and his personal library. There we found some things that made us go in his home and bring him here.
Bruce: What kind of things. You found any evidence
Steven: Here you have themโฆโฆ(he gives to him some evidences with which Bruce will confront the doctor latter in the interrogation room)Any information about him.
The officer: He is a well known doctor Roman Rodnick who does heart surgery in London hospital and on his private clinic, last year there were some allegations against him for unprofessional surgery operations but he escaped it.
Bruce: I will confront him with the evidences now. He looks so worried it doesnโt sound to that serial killer that does those things, but those people can fake emotions very easy I have to be careful with it.
You thought you can escape to us forever right!
Rodnick: What are you talking about, I donโt know for what,,
Bruce: Leave the games with me. We have busted you, everything itโs leading to you.
Rodnick: You are making a mistake, I need to talk with a lawyer.
Bruce: You donโt have the right for one, you have killed so many people, I can lose my job but I donโt care it will be only you and me here, we will explain things.
Rodnick: You are crazy.
Bruce: you think, look at those who think you are crazy not me (he showed the photos of three dead victims on the table)
Rodnick: I donโt know those girls, I never seen them you are making a mistake.
Bruce: Look sooner or later you will have to accept what you did, and this is not the only crime that you have done, what you can say about those documents( were paying checks for international transactions from Chile of transporting organs in London) you were involved in this business , you are a monster.
Rodnick: But those girls I donโt know them, never saw them before.
Bruce: You have to do much more to fool us. We have other evidences that make you guilty for the murders of Angel killer
Rodnick: What you mean with evidences what evidences.
Bruce: those photos we found in your room and newspaper parts with the killers, the knife that fits with the one you used for torturing women you see this one, my colleague told me that you donโt have alibi for the time when the crimes happened
you want more in your laptop we found this one this manifesto( it was a document of 23 pages describing the crimes, the reason why he did that talking about demons, hell , the army of god and how the war should be continued) I think those are enough to close you for live and you know a secret if it was for me I would kill you. Arenโt those facts enough for you, donโt fake anymore, everything is over.
Rodnick: You are out of your mind, I never seen those things, what is that manifesto somebody has entered on my laptop and those photos I never seen, somebody has put those there Bruce: You are done , there is no more time for your games, officer get this man out of my face.
Steven: We made it man, he will not be able to hurt anyone anymore.
Back in the main hall everybody was handclapping and happy for the end of the terror. The whole department was there. This case was getting a black stain in London police work so they are really happy that this is over.
Mrs. Norris: I know we are not allowed to drink but I brought two bottles of wine to celebrate this wonderful day.
Steven: Well you are right today is a big day for us.
Mrs. Norris started filling the glasses of more than 20 officers who were all cheering with each other in a day that will never be forgotten.
Bruce was just staying in a corner watching them and experiencing a big relief, after few minutes he will give an interview for channel 5 in order to inform people that the horror is over, they deserve to know this.
He left the main hall and went in his office when a journalist from channel 5 was waiting him,
Mrs. Norris has told him to come immediately when she found out that they arrested Dr. Rodnick
Journalist: Hello detective are you ready to give to people the good news (he was so happy)

Journalist: Thank you very much, so this is was a exclusive interview with Bruce Loan the detective who stopped the killer, with this said we donโt have to fear anymore from that monster. Have a nice day
The interview was over and has reached to a big audience because the whole country was watching it. Now everybody knew that the Angel killer was only a horrible history now.
Few days have gone and everything went to normality, not in the way everybody would want in London because the crime was still present on the streets but nothing like angel killer.
What about Bruce? He is not as happiest as the city because he is still feeling the absence of Joan and Nick on his life, but things are turning on positive way for him.
Things are changing even why he donโt want to accept them, feelings about Gloria are getting bigger, he is feeling les anxious about people, obviously the group therapy is helping him so much
the perception for humans started to change because now he believes there is still hope in humanity, conversations with Steve and Bob are getting more often,
Bruce decided to take three weeks vocation from job in order to get his head relaxed; this is the first one on his career.
He actually decided to go in Africa and pass few days with the tribes of that area.
It was one day of early autumn when Bruce arrived in South Africa airport.
While getting out to the taxi he was looking all those happy faces and positive people convinced him even more that he did the right choice for coming in Africa.
Close to him came a man that looked a little funny guy age 34 or more a little bit overweight but It didnโt looked like it mattered for him.
He was wearing some jeans and a shirt with sea design on it it looked more like those which wear people who go on Hawaii and finally a Mexican huge hat.
Mr. Americano do you need a taxi? I m Barany
Bruce: Yes sure but Iโm not American but I come from London.
Barany: What? English American you look all the same to me let me carry your bag to the taxi.
Bruce: No its fine Itโs not that heavy just send me at your taxi Iโm a little tired from all that travel.
Barany: Here is it get in please Ill send you anywhere you want , Barany will be your eyes and legs here for you .
Bruce: You are polite Barany I think I may need your services here, send me in the nearest hotel please.
Barany: You will be there on 10 minutes.
They traveled at the Makati Hotel in the exact same time that Barany said on 10 minutes.
Bruce: You really know to respect time, look will you come tomorrow in 8 o clock morning and send me at Sundae tribe because I heard that you can visit them and they are very friendly.
Barany: as I said Iโm your eyes and legs here, besides you European people pay nice tips so with that said ill be here on time. Enjoy the city.
The hotel wasnโt the highest quality but it had a great view. Actually he spends the whole day there mostly resting. Something good was following him since he first went on the group therapy, those nightmares are vanishing, it looks like he is beating his demons inside.
The next day comes it was almost 8 and Barany knocks on the door. Are you ready Mr. Americano, I ll been waiting for half hour there, sometimes I go when I used to be a little bit earlier and eventually get bored waiting.
Bruce: You are not going to stop with this thing of Americano right hahha. Iโm ready to just let me take my bag and we are going there I guess.
Barany: We have a long journey to the Sundae tribe village, so we better get going fast.
The journey from the center of town to the village lasted two hours with car but they had to do forty minutes walking to arrive on that location.
Bruce and Barany enter on a lovely village with a lot of activity on it. There you can see a beautiful place with small houses made of wood. It was just like on national geographic documentaries.
Barany: Americano here they are, I will leave you with them I have some business back on town but in the moment you decide to call me you have to make this road on foot and you call me from phone of locals, here in village they donโt have phone but where we left the car they do, okay.
Bruce: Good, just present me to them.
Barany: All right than donโt worry they know English because lot of Americans are coming to visit them on those last years. Come after me.
They approached to those people who looked very friendly, and Barany started to talk with them on a language that Bruce couldnโt understand.
Barany: Bruce come closer, donโt be scared man they will not bite you.
Bruce: Donโt joke please.
Tribe chief: Back in history our people with yours fought with another but now those days are forgotten. We accept you to stay with us as long as you want my friends.
Bruce: Iโm ashamed to for that past
