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.
In the last chapters book take another shape because Bruce starts to go in group therapy and feels that he is being understood there, but this is not the most important thing there because he meets Gloria a woman that gets on his heart so fast.
The investigation leads on exiting events as far as Angel killer case while he gets new faces on his life and takes a journey in a village of an African tribe when he gets a whole new perspective of live.
The last chapter (10) is the final part of book which gives final touch in three dimensions of book: His emotions and adaption from losing his wife and son, story with Gloria and finally fighting with the demons outside.Readers will also notice a small detail in the end which gives indications what will happen in the second part of this series having in mind that this book is only the first one.

They started walking on the village with chief presenting people with him with Barany already gone he was left all alone with them.
Days started to pass and he was feeling so “in the right place with the right people”. Sunoco was a young man escorting him everywhere.
Sunoco (22 years old man with big positive energy) was so interested to hear for the west because his dream was to escape from the tribe and chase his dream of being a engineer.
You have great village here, Sunoco I mean look at people and this waterfall, and we only see them on shampoo commercials.
Sunoco: Yes you know everything is great here but I want something else.
Bruce: Look I can see a fish down our legs this is impressive, I understand you but sometimes things are not like we think and when you archive that you just want to return at your family believe me there is nothing more important than them.
Sunoco: I don’t know here I have got my family, my people everything but we don’t have those things you have got you know good suits, cars I love Ferrari and I build houses here but I want to dream big buildings.
Bruce: I don’t know its good to chase dreams Sunoco but we have to appreciate what we got, learn to enjoy the moments with people you love, they are the best things a man can want. I’m telling this from experience.
Days here past so fast with those traveling near waterfalls, sea, big woods and those night parties around fire.
Finally after 12 long days Bruce s journey here was coming to an end. All people of village came to give him farewell because they all loved him.
Good people , thank you for some of the most beautiful days of my live, you helped me understand a lot of things and now I have better opinion for people, you restored my faith on human kind , thank you my family.
Sunoco come here my friend. Here take this shirt with London map on it you have a gift from me and if you ever decide to come just ask for me on London Department Police but before you take decisions remember what you will lose, listen to your heart not your mind, give me a hug you little brother.
Bruce called Barany to send him on the airport and then fly for London. The first thing he did was to visit a person who he was thinking a lot lately. Gloria!
He was tired and wanted to sleep with heavy beg but the legs sends him down her apartment it was late.
She lived on third floor and he started to call her loudly without caring if he was going to wake other people.
Gloriiiaaaaa.. Gloriaaaa
From her apartment a light was turned on.
Bruce are you crazy what are you doing. Wait there I ll come in few seconds, you crazy hahha
Gloria: So you came back from Africa I thought a tiger ate you.
Bruce: haha you like to joke with me right. Do you want to walk a little bit and talk?
Gloria: How was your experience there?
Bruce: I regret.. That I didn’t went there earlier, what amazing people. For some moments I thought of staying there forever.
Gloria: What stopped you?
Bruce: Well I have to fight crime here and protect my people, imagine horror they will experience with another serial killer.
Gloria: You should think more for yourself.
Bruce: I do, I actually have a personal reason for not staying there,
Gloria: What is that?
Bruce: It’s you (and he kissed her) I’m sorry for doing this it was impulsive.
Gloria: Don’t be sorry. I’m glad you did this; don’t think you are the only one feeling something special here you fool.
They were both happy walking in each other arms and talking for their feelings. All the sudden out of nowhere someone hits Bruce and Gloria on their heads with something and they passed out.
Chapter X
Why you monster
-The night was dark and it’s getting worst for Bruce and Gloria. They were lying down on the ground after being hit by someone with a strong object on their heads.
What is this, who is doing this (Bruce was half conscious) he saw Gloria covered on blood.
Its him, we were wrong its angel killer we catch the wrong guy.(Bruce passed out after what he saw)
The next moment he opened his eyes was in a big room of some country house. Everything was so unclear.
The room was so dark with a small light on it. Gloria was near him unconscious and they both were tied in chairs.
Bruce: Gloria wake up, hey Gloria
Few seconds passed and she becomes aware of the horror it happened to her. Where are we, what happened?
Bruce: Calm down we will figure it out something I need you with sharp mind don’t panic. We have been kidnapped but we will figure it out.
Gloria: But who is doing this, I have done nothing to no one.
Bruce: This doesn’t matter just try to remain calm I know it’s hard. He is there outside and will come in any moment, it’s very important to know how to act.
In that room with all those intense emotions entered a man with black coat and a mask it was him the Angel killer. He opened that door and went straight to Gloria.
This shocked Bruce, finally he found someone else in this planet who he can love and he will not allow anything to take it from him. Don’t you dare to do anything to her, come to me I’m the one who you looking for. Here face me you beast.
The killer continued to walk toward Gloria no matter what Bruce is saying. She was terrified but couldn’t do anything even why she was seeing him getting to her. Stop please, don’t what are you doing and she lost her feelings after he gives her a injection
The event was looking like some horror movie but for Bruce was the story of his live. For him those things and demons were so usual which made him think that it will be better if he didn’t exist at all.
Every person who gets near to him either dies or experiences terrible things. That man after checks that Gloria has passed out turns his steps in Bruce direction.
He had everything in control because Bruce was standing there tied and half conscious.
You thought I forgot you. You did a good show of catching me with all that vine celebrating, doing interviews feeling free. The army of god will never die.
Bruce: But the evidences.
Killer: Bla la bla , not always things are as they seem, creating illusions and making it pure reality for those who are blind to see it’s something I like to call it braking the minds.
Bruce: You are a monster, who are you, show your face you coward.
Killer: Are you sure you want to know, I can guarantee you a big surprise you will have. He was feeling powerful, in control and started to remove his mask very slow to torment Bruce s mind.
Bruce: Its you, bu..but how could you,(His heart is about to explode from what he saw).You were like a brother to me , Steven you monsterrrrrrrrrrrrrr I will kill you
Steven: You think you can kill me ,I will finish you , and you can’t deny that gave to you the chance to become my solder in the army of good but instead you decided to go and solve those puzzles.
Bruce: You were with me all the time.
Steven: Expect the time when the murders happened, it was fun to see you trying to give meaning to my poetry, I am way smarter than you.
Bruce: Is this is all about you being better than me.
Steven: Well I was always better than you, but everybody on the department saw you like the best detective there, even why I promoted in police commander still you were the star of the department.
Bruce: I never saw you like that; you were like a brother to me.
Steven: Yes you just talk, go in hell, and except that you started to become a devil just like them , you made this even more personal
Bruce: You are mad.
Steven: No I’m not I hear voices but they come from God to me who has given me this divine duty to protect human kind, another thing is that I always saw you like someone who didn’t deserve to live here.
Bruce: You were there when Nick and Joan died. You…
Steven: About that, I know I should tell you this,,, I was the one who planted the bomb in your home and changed the evidences latter to blame that criminal what was his name oh yes Jar, you was so happy I just couldn’t see you like that
Bruce: What, what, I can’t believe I will kill youuuu, fight with me.
Steven: You had your chances, I was there all the time but you was to fool to figure it out, I mean the medical books in my office and the way I hided you that murder when you were in Birmingham , you just had to figure it out things, but it’s not my fault you are idiot by the way I killed that woman where you were in Birmingham, it’s so easy to play games with you.
Bruce: I would never ever thought that you, but how you did with the doctor, all the evidences pointed to him.
Steven: I’m a master right, that anonymous call I called my self I was following that man for a long time when I noticed he is involved on wrong things, and did murders when he was all alone in places that gives his alibi no meaning.
He wasn’t working that morning so I went early on his ordinance and left the photos and everything there. Few minutes later I went in office like nothing happened pretended like I got that call and the rest you know. This is masterful for me you got to admit that, I think I have to give some credits to my intellect.
Bruce: You didn’t have to do this
Steven: Enough with words, you heard enough for a dead man walking. You will suffer in my hands so much now. By the way your new love Gloria she will be dying in exactly eee let me see 30 minutes from the injection I gave to her.
Bruce: What you did to her? Leave her alone here you have me.
Steven: You will do any sacrifice to save her beautiful face right, you should be grateful to me that I’m not killing her in my way, but I don’t have time for that now, I have to deal with you.
He started to hit Bruce with his big hands over and over again, than he shows a portion of some green liquid. I know you want to be hero, now you have the chance, this is something I made myself and it has its origin on heaven, this will make your body eat the organs, but you can choice drink it yourself or I give to Gloria and cause to her a painful death instead of that one
