A blessed event becomes a nightmare for pregnant homicide
detective Jane Rizzoli when she finds herself on the wrong
side of a hostage crisis in this timely and relentless new
thriller from the New Your Times bestselling author of Body
Double.
A nameless, beautiful woman appears to be just another
corpse in the morgue. An apparent suicide, she lies on a
gurney awaiting the dissecting scalpel of medical examiner
Maura Isles. But when Maura unzips the body bag and looks
down as the body, she gets the fright of her life. The
corpse opens it eyes.
Very much alive, the woman is rushed to the hospital,
where, with shockingly cool precision, she murders a
security guard and seizes hostages…one of them a pregnant
patient, Jane Rizzoli.
Who is this violent, desperate soul, and what does she
want? As the tense hours tick by, Maura joins forcer with
Jane’s husband, FBI agent Gabriel Dean, to track down the
mysterious killer’s identity. When federal agents suddenly
appear on the scene, Maura and Gabriel realize that they
are dealing with a case that goes far deeper than just an
ordinary hostage crisis.
Only Jane, trapped with the armed madwoman, holds the key
to the mystery. And only she can solve it-if she survives
the night.
