No one takes readers to the dark side and back with more
razor-sharp jolts and sheer suspense than the storytelling
master behind Ice Cold and The Keepsake. When New York Times
bestselling author Tess Gerritsen has a tale to tell, put
yourself in her expert hands—and prepare for the shocks and
thrills that are certain to follow.
Every crime scene tells a story. Some keep you awake at
night. Others haunt your dreams. The grisly display homicide
cop Jane Rizzoli finds in Boston’s Chinatown will do both.
In the murky shadows of an alley lies a female’s severed
hand. On the tenement rooftop above is the corpse belonging
to that hand, a red-haired woman dressed all in black, her
head nearly severed. Two strands of silver hair—not
human—cling to her body. They are Rizzoli’s only clues, but
they’re enough for her and medical examiner Maura Isles to
make the startling discovery: that this violent death had a
chilling prequel.
Nineteen years earlier, a horrifying murder-suicide in a
Chinatown restaurant left five people dead. But one woman
connected to that massacre is still alive: a mysterious
martial arts master who knows a secret she dares not tell, a
secret that lives and breathes in the shadows of Chinatown.
A secret that may not even be human. Now she’s the target of
someone, or something, deeply and relentlessly evil.
Cracking a crime resonating with bone-chilling echoes of an
ancient Chinese legend, Rizzoli and Isles must outwit an
unseen enemy with centuries of cunning—and a swift, avenging
blade.
