In the city that’s become a symbol for the death of the American dream, a nightmare killer is unravelling reality. The new thriller from Lauren Beukes, author of The Shining Girls.

Detective Gabi Versado has hunted down many monsters during her eight years in Homicide. She’s seen stupidity, corruption and just plain badness. But she’s never seen anything like this.

Clayton Broom is a failed artist, and a broken man. Life destroyed his plans, so he’s found new dreams – of flesh and bone made disturbingly, beautifully real.

Detroit is the decaying corpse of the American Dream. Motor-city. Murder-city. And home to a killer opening doors into the dark heart of humanity.

A killer who wants to make you whole again...

Review:

Praise for BROKEN MONSTERS:

‘This uniquely, horrible, disturbing novel... should be a shoo-in for thriller of the year’ Observer

‘Well-executed...exquisitely paced and impeccably controlled...’ New York Times

‘A strange and fascinating thriller’
Sunday Express
