Jane Rizzoli and Maura Isles—the inspiration for the
smash hit TNT series—continue their bestselling
crime-solving streak, as they pursue a shadowy psychopath
keeping secrets and taking lives.
Two separate homicides, at different locations, with
unrelated victims, have more in common than just being
investigated by Boston PD detective Jane Rizzoli and medical
examiner Maura Isles. In both cases, the bodies bear
startling wounds—yet the actual cause of death is unknown.
It’s a doubly challenging case for the cop and the coroner
to be taking on, at a fraught time for both of them. As Jane
struggles to save her mother from the crumbling marriage
that threatens to bury her, Maura grapples with the imminent
death of her own mother—infamous serial killer Amalthea Lank.
While Jane tends to her mother, there’s nothing Maura can do
for Amalthea, except endure one final battle of wills with
the woman whose shadow has haunted her all her life. Though
succumbing to cancer, Amalthea hasn’t lost her taste for
manipulating her estranged daughter—this time by dangling a
cryptic clue about the two bizarre murders Maura and Jane
are desperately trying to solve.
But whatever the dying convict knows is only a piece of the
puzzle. Soon the investigation leads to a secretive young
woman who survived a shocking abuse scandal, an independent
horror film that may be rooted in reality, and a slew of
martyred saints who died cruel and unusual deaths. And just
when Rizzoli and Isles think they’ve cornered a devilish
predator, the long-buried past rears its head—and threatens
to engulf more innocent lives, including their own.
