For the second time in his short life, Teddy Clock has
survived a massacre. Two years ago, he barely escaped when
his entire family was slaughtered. Now, at 14, in a hideous
echo of the past, Teddy is the lone survivor of his foster
family’s mass murder. Orphaned once more, the traumatized
teenager has nowhere to turn — until the Boston PD puts
detective Jane Rizzoli on the case. Determined to protect
this young man, Jane discovers that what seemed like a
coincidence is instead just one horrifying part of a
relentless killer’s merciless mission.
Jane spirits Teddy to the exclusive Evensong boarding
school, a sanctuary where young victims of violent crime
learn the secrets and skills of survival in a dangerous
world. But even behind locked gates, and surrounded by
acres of sheltering Maine wilderness, Jane fears that
Evensong’s mysterious benefactors aren’t the only ones
watching. When strange blood-splattered dolls are found
dangling from a tree, Jane knows that her instincts are
dead on. And when she meets Will Yablonski and Claire Ward,
students whose tragic pasts bear a shocking resemblance to
Teddy’s, it becomes chillingly clear that a circling
predator has more than one victim in mind.
Joining forces with her trusted partner, medical examiner
Maura Isles, Jane is determined to keep these orphans safe
from harm. But an unspeakable secret dooms the children’s
fate — unless Jane and Maura can finally put an end to an
obsessed killer’s twisted quest.
