In this twisted journey into the shadows of the Golden Gate,
an inspector and an FBI agent must track down the source of an unknown drug,
but their attraction and their own secrets keep getting in the way.
The streets of San Francisco aren’t as sunny as the city
pretends they are. Inspector Lennon Gray has learned this the hard way, and
it’s starting to wear on her. When a new case plunges her into the depths of
the transient community, Lennon must once again face ugly truths about
humanity.
Her new partner makes things a little easier, though.
Agent Ambrose Mars is charming—innocent, somehow, despite his
own hard years in the field. The combination leaves Lennon fascinated and
disturbed at the same time, and she’s even more drawn to him for it.
As they investigate the hallucinogenic drug that’s forcing
homeless citizens into bizarre and dangerous role-plays, Lennon and Ambrose
find their relationship intensified with every new twist. But when these
revelations begin to uncover secrets she wasn’t prepared to know, Lennon will
have to decide how much more she can take…before something important is taken
from her.
Lennon + Ambrose
Lennon has been a cop in San Francisco for almost 10 years now. But she's still not used to seeing the horrible things see has to see every day.
There's currently ... probably ... a serial killer on the loose and the FBI sends Ambrose Mars to help in the investigation. Lennon is not happy about some stranger from out of town to come in and do her job. The guy is a bit weird but he's also growing on her ... a lot. But there are lots of mysteries and secrets left to uncover before we can even think about a happily ever after....
Well... I really liked reading this.
I love San Francisco and I love it when I get to read a book that takes me all over the city.
The story was great too - maybe a tiny bit weird or futuristic or fantastical or whatever you might call it. The whole hallucigenic part of it. But I still liked reading it.
I loved Lennon and Ambrose. I would've loved to follow their lives for a bit longer.
The book had everything a great suspense novel needs. It was very violent and mysterious and heartbreaking and so much more.
I really loved the epilogue!
I wouldn't mind seeing this on TV one day.
THE BROKEN PLACES was a really great and mysterious and suspensy and heartbreaking San Francisco serial killer love story. I really enjoyed reading it!
