It is a boiling hot Boston summer. Adding to the cityβs woes is a series of shocking crimes, in which wealthy men are made to watch while their wives are brutalized. A sadistic demand that ends in abduction and death.
The pattern suggests one man: serial killer Warren Hoyt, recently removed from the cityβs streets. Police can only assume an acolyte is at large, a maniac basing his attacks on the twisted medical techniques of the madman he so admires. At least thatβs what Detective Jane Rizzoli thinks. Forced again to confront the killer who scarred herβ literally and figurativelyβshe is determined to finally end Hoytβs awful influence . . . even if it means receiving more resistance from her all-male homicide squad.
But Rizzoli isnβt counting on the U.S. governmentβs sudden interest. Or on meeting Special Agent Gabriel Dean, who knows more than he will tell. Most of all, she isnβt counting on becoming a target herself, once Hoyt is suddenly free, joining his mysterious blood brother in a vicious vendetta. . . .
