The Puppet Maker's Bones
by Alisa Tangredi
An angel of Death in Los Angeles. A sociopath kills a young boy, a quiet teen, and then an entire family before turning his attention upon Pavel Trusnik, an elderly shut-in from across the street. Loneliness can drive a normal man to madness, and Pavel Trusnik is not a normal man. After committing a crime that leaves him shunned and isolated, Pavel has only the fading memories of his tragically flawed life, and his one great love. When the violent sociopath sets his murderous desires upon Pavel, only an ancient order that knows Pavel's secrets can intervene. But for the isolated old man, the vicious intruder is the only company he has had in decades... (Death's Order, Book #1)Review"...I have to say that [Alisa Tangredi] is now on my list of writers to watch. From the moment I cracked open the cover I was plunged into a world centuries old, with characters that I came to sympathize with and hate with a passion. They were richly developed and the settings and history completely engrossed me. Rare are the books that I read that can bring up such emotion from me..."
