Rizzoli & Isles are back! From New York Times bestselling author
Tess Gerritsen, this "shocking and fast-paced" (Karin Slaughter)
thriller has Jane and Maura investigating a brutal murder with dire
implications, and this time, with Jane's intrepid mother, Angela,
looking into a mystery of her own.
"Absolutely first rate--readers will be thrilled and delighted by this
new Rizzoli & Isles outing!"--Shari Lapena, New York Times bestselling
author of The Couple Next Door
Mothers know best . . . But who will listen?
Boston homicide detective Jane Rizzoli and medical examiner Maura Isles
are newly plagued by what seems like a completely senseless murder.
Sofia Suarez, a widow and nurse who was universally liked by her
neighbors, lies bludgeoned to death in her own home. But anything can
happen behind closed doors, and Sofia seemed to have plenty of secrets
in her last days, making covert phone calls to traceless burner phones.
When Jane finally makes a connection between Sofia and the victim of a
hit-and-run from months earlier, the case only grows more blurry. What
exactly was Sofia involved in? One thing is clear: The killer will do
anything it takes to keep their secret safe.
Meanwhile, Angela Rizzoli hasn't had a decent night's sleep in all the
years since her daughter became a homicide detective. Maybe the apple
didn't fall too far from the tree: Nothing in Angela's neighborhood gets
by her--not the gossip about a runaway teenager down the block and
definitely not the strange neighbors who have just moved in across the
street. Angela's sure there's no such thing as coincidence in her sleepy
suburb. If only Jane would listen--instead she writes off Angela's
concerns as the result of an overactive imagination. But Angela's
convinced there's a real wolf in her vicinity, and her cries might now
fall on deaf ears.
With so much happening on the Sofia case, Jane and Maura already
struggle to see the forest for the trees, but will they lose sight of
something sinister happening much closer to home?
