The manuscript was left behind in a coffee shop. No name on it. No note. Just pages.The woman who found it eventually tracked down the author. They offered no explanation. “Do with it what you wish,” they said. “The reason I wrote it has already been fulfilled.”Set against the backdrop of 2020—when a pandemic emptied the streets and a nation burned— Forest of Angels tells two intertwined stories.The first: a fifteen-year-old girl named Bree, abducted from a mountain campground by a maniac with a knife and a collar fitted with a modified shock device—a man who was not a stranger. What follows is her story of survival across years of captivity deep in the wilderness, at the mercy of a predator the world was not looking for.The second: a solitary federal wildlife officer who stumbles onto a killing ground hidden in the Angeles National Forest above Los Angeles—fifteen crosses, fifteen victims—and the LAPD detective who pulls her into an investigation that should have happened years earlier.The connection between these two stories is the secret the manuscript is keeping.Is any of it real? The author isn’t saying.We’ll leave that to you to decide. Read more
