Not even the icy temperatures of a typical New England
winter can match the bone-chilling scene of carnage
discovered at the chapel of Our Lady of Divine Light.
Within the cloistered convent lie two nuns–one dead, one
critically injured–victims of an unspeakably savage
attacker. The brutal crime appears to be without motive,
but medical examiner Maura Isles’s autopsy of the dead
woman yields a shocking surprise: twenty-year-old Sister
Camille gave birth before she was murdered. Then another
body is found mutilated beyond recognition. Together, Isles
and homicide detective Jane Rizzoli uncover an ancient
horror that connects these terrible slaughters. As long-
buried secrets come to light, Maura Isles finds herself
drawn inexorably toward the heart of an investigation that
strikes close to home–and toward a dawning revelation about
the killer’s identity too shattering to consider.
