Today's inflammatory headlines come to satiric life in this convoluted tale of self-serving hustlers as Detective Lawrence Striker and FBI Special Agent Cassandra Cassidy put their heads (and other things) together to weave their way through the violent eruptions of racial animosities and the rabble-rousing buzzards who feast on those divisions. There are crimes to solve but as the story evolves the layers of the fetid onion are peeled away to expose the maggots of deception and double-dealing.
In an early morning shootout on the mean streets of River City two African-American teenagers are gunned down by the cops and that heralds the emergence of the devious and race-baiting Reverend Abraham Castille to media-driven, national prominence as he, with incendiary rhetoric, escalates civil protest into open warfare. As flames threaten to consume the city a kindly old lady who was witness to the shootout is murdered, the city's police commissioner is assassinated, and the rioting spins inexorably out of control and spreads with lethal effect to other parts of the country. Striker and Cassidy are sucked into a cesspool of evil doings that include a drug trafficking network that reaches from River City all the way to Russian mobsters in Chicago. In this miasma of duplicity everyone is sworn to different agendas and Striker's resolve is put to yet another cruel and life-changing test.
With a comedic and jaundiced eye, Branon depicts how today's warped self righteousness and avaricious self-aggrandizement have squandered the non-violent legacies of those who led the civil rights movement of the 60s, a movement that wanted an equal opportunity for a seat at the table but didn't intend to burn the house down while they courageously pursued the invitation. All this wrapped inside a page-turning thriller, a jigsaw puzzle of nefarious motives and end games.
David R. Branon, a Harvard magna cum laude graduate, was the chief executive officer of a very successful business that was ultimately folded into a worldwide sporting goods conglomerate.
He became chairman of that entity's multi-million dollar Americas operation before strapping on an early parachute to pursue the passion of words rather than the sterility of numbers, however lucrative the latter may have been. His debut novel, The Curmudgeon's Tree, and his second, The Spider's Web, were met with high praise. He lives with his wife in Greenville, South Carolina.

By Anthony William Branon Another pristine example of that which the English language is capable in its finest raiment. To read Branon's sentences is to risk smothering comprehension in a rush of lettered opulence. -- Humor? Biting; -- Societal extrapolation? Disturbing to scary; -- Logic? Granite; -- Research? Marianas Trench deep; -- Insight? No. 11 scalpel blade. -- DO NOT DISTURB. ARTIST AT WORK.Hope for the Human Species? Stretched thin. And stretching. -- DO NOT DISTURB. CURMUDGEON AT WORK.ANGELS is a complex but clean narrative. The author serves up a curve ball now and then, and there's a good deal of chin music for the PC crowd. (Note to PC crowd: Before you saddle up Rosinante, finish the book. No need to look stupid AND uninformed.) In the closing pages, Branon floats a killer knuckle ball at the reader. Trust me ... you won't hit it. But it's a beaut. Just proceed to the end without questioning your or the author's brain function, secure in the faith that author Branon is up to something sneaky/grand -- as indeed he is.ANGELS WITH BROKEN WINGS is prescient to the point of eerie -- check the Pub. submission date against the newspapers. ANGELS is art -- and a courageous piece of writing.

Infused with the same biting dark humor as his prior novel The Spider’s Web, he starts us off with an Oh My God opening scene and carries us through his take with an equally OMG finish full of twists and turns. He has his finger firmly up the satirical sphincter of US race politics as he takes us on a journey of corruption, greed, and racial strife while he spins a most readable tale that is involves politics, international drug trade, police, government agencies and even love. Both cynical and realistic, his characters take us on a journey that is worth reading and while doing so keep in mind that he wrote it before more recent incidents in Ferguson, Missouri, Baltimore, Maryland, Cleveland Ohio, and his home area of Charleston South Carolina even occurred.

His books are all quite different but share the storyteller’s gift of a fertile imagination. They showcase his ability to inject humor into difficult situations while creating an entertaining and spellbinding story. This one may be his best yet. Angels with Broken Wings is filled with violence, race riots and illegal drugs. It’s a fast paced story with many twists and unexpected turns, another real page-turner. I keep expecting to see this exciting new author’s books reviewed in national publications, and his stories could all eventually become blockbuster movies.
