The crime scene was horribly gruesome, so Boston PD detective D.D. Warren felt compelled to check it out again. She just wasn't expecting to be pushed down the stairs by someone else lurking in the shadows. D.D. is left with some memory loss from the fall, but the severe injury to her left arm and shoulder means she's unable to return to work. Weeks later, when a second murder occurs with the same grisly elements as the first, D.D. has to become involved again. Even though she can't lift her arm or load her firearm, she can help with the investigation in other ways. She just doesn't realize how closely she'll become involved with key individuals in the inquiry.
Dr. Adeline Glen is a renowned specialist who helps people deal with physical pain, even though she suffers from a rare congenital disorder and can feel no pain herself. Adeline also comes from a highly dysfunctional family; her late-mother was a mental case, her late-father was a psychopathic homicidal maniac, and her sister has been an incarcerated serial killer since the age of 14. When Adeline learns that several bizarre components of these recent murders are exactly like ones her father committed, she fears there could be some connection to her family. Why, after all these years, are similar killings taking place? And what has set this chain of events in motion?

In #1 New York Times bestseller Lisa Gardnerβs
latest pulse-pounding thriller, Detective D. D. Warren must
face a new fear as a serial killer terrorizes
Boston. My name is Dr. Adeline Glen. Due
to a genetic condition, I canβt feel pain. I never have. I
never will. The last thing Boston
Detective
D. D. Warren remembers is walking the crime scene after
dark. Then, a creaking floorboard, a low voice crooning in
her ear. . . . She is later told she managed to discharge
her weapon three times. All she knows is that she is
seriously injured, unable to move her left arm, unable to
return to work. My sister is Shana Day, a
notorious murderer who first killed at fourteen.
Incarcerated for thirty years, she has now murdered more
people while in prison than she did as a free woman.
Six weeks later, a second woman is discovered
murdered in her own bed, her room containing the same
calling cards from the first: a bottle of champagne and a
single red rose. The only person who may have seen the
killer: Detective D. D. Warren, who still canβt lift her
child, load her gun, or recall a single detail from the
night that may have cost her everything. Our
father was Harry Day, an infamous serial killer who buried
young women beneath the floor of our home. He has been dead
for forty years. Except the Rose Killer knows things about
my father he shouldnβt. My sister claims she can help catch
him. I think just because I canβt feel pain doesnβt mean my
family canβt hurt me. D.D. may not be back
on the job, but she is back on the hunt. Because the Rose
Killer isnβt just targeting lone women, he is targeting
D.D.
And D.D. knows there is only one way to take him down:
Fear nothing.
