A
criminal
mastermind
creates
violent
tableaus
in
abandoned
Detroit
warehouses
in
Lauren
Beukes's
new
genre-bending
novel
of
suspense.
Detective
Gabriella
Versado
has
seen
a
lot
of
bodies.
But
this
one
is
unique
even
by
Detroit's
standards:
half
boy,
half
deer,
somehow
fused
together.
As
stranger
and
more
disturbing
bodies
are
discovered,
how
can
the
city
hold
on
to
a
reality
that
is
already
tearing
at
its
seams?
If
you're
Detective
Versado's
geeky
teenage
daughter,
Layla,

If

it
takes
to
get
the
exclusive
on
a
horrific

If
you're

Keen,

on
the
street
as
TK,
you'll
do
what
you
can
to
keep
your
homeless
family
safe--and
find
the
monster
who
is
possessed
by
the
dream
of
violently
remaking
the
world.
If
Lauren
Beukes's

bestsellingThe
Shining
Girlswas
a
time-jumping
thrill
ride
through
the
past,
herBroken
Monstersis
a
genre-redefining
thriller
about
broken
cities,
broken
dreams,
and
broken
people
trying
to
put
themselves
back
together
again.
