Chapter Overview

Description

The Angel Maker follows Katie Shaw, a primary school teacher whose life is shaped by a teenage mistake that led to her brother Chris being attacked and scarred. Seventeen years later, the past erupts again: a reclusive philosopher-millionaire is murdered, and evidence ties Chris—missing for years—to the crime scene.

Detective Laurence Page and his partner Caroline Pettifer chase leads through wealth, private estates, and an underground market for “murderabilia,” uncovering a terrifying legacy: Jack Lock, a long-dead serial killer known as the Angel Maker, and a cultish belief in determinism—Deus scripsit, “God has written it.” At the story’s center is a coveted notebook, rumored to reveal the future, and a powerful heir who will kill to reclaim it and “correct” history. As Katie races to save her brother and protect her daughter, the novel builds toward a blazing, fate-challenging showdown.
