    Hot sultry summer in downtown Boston, and homicide detective Thomas Moore is called back from holiday to be told there's a serial killer at large. This isn't just any serial killer. This is a predator who targets lone women, breaks into their apartments in the early hours of the morning, and commits bizarre ritualistic acts of torture on his victims before finishing them off. The killer's surgical skills lead police to suspect he is a physician working alongside unsuspecting doctors and nurses at the Pilgrim Medical Center - a physician who, instead of saving lives, takes them in the most terrifying of ways. investigation, they make a startling discovery. Closely linked to these Boston killings is Catherine Cordell, a beautiful surgeon with a mysterious past. Two years ago in another city she was the subject of a horrifying rape and attempted murder, but shot her aggressor dead. Now she is being targeted by this new killer, who seems to know all about her past, her work at the Medical Center, what car she drives and, crucially, where she lives. The man she believes she killed now seems to be stalking her once again, only this time he knows exactly where to find her, and nowhere is safe... as gripping as it is terrifying. Filled with the authentic detail that is the trademark of this doctor-turned-author, and peopled with rich and complex characters, this is psychological suspense at its very best.

    Returning home from Paris, Boston medical examiner Maura Isles is greeted by a nightmarish scene. Slumped in a car in her driveway is a dead woman, a gunshot wound to her head. Cops and neighbours stare at her as she approaches; and when Maura looks into the car, she understands why. The body on the front seat is her mirror image. In the autopsy that follows, Maura discovers more and more parallels between her and the dead woman, right down to their identical blood group. She is even more confused when her friend, Detective Jane Rizzoli, learns that, according to all available documentation, the woman did not even exist until two years previously. Who was this woman? What was her relationship with Maura? And who is the killer's real target? Maura, who was given up for adoption at birth, knows she must confront the truth about her own mysterious origins. As she tracks down the dead woman's identity, she uncovers a shocking revelation about the mother she never knew. Drawn into a dangerous and manipulative game, Maura and Rizzoli are led ever deeper down a path of dark untruths and murderous deceit.

  4. 5

    È la fine di un'altra dura giornata di lavoro per l'anatomopatologa Maura Isles, quando un rumore improvviso nella cella frigorifera attira la sua attenzione. Uno scherzo della stanchezza o tra i corpi in attesa di essere sottoposti ad autopsia qualcosa si è mosso? Si sa, la realtà è quasi sempre peggiore dell'incubo: una giovane e bellissima donna, il cui cadavere era stato ritrovato in mare non lontano da uno yacht club, ha ripreso a respirare. La ragazza viene trasportata d'urgenza in ospedale, dove fin da subito ha un comportamento inspiegabile: chiaramente terrorizzata - ma da cosa? -, si sottrae con violenza alle cure, si rifiuta di rispondere alle domande e di rivelare il proprio nome. Mentre medici e poliziotti le si accalcano intorno, la situazione precipita: la giovane ruba una pistola a un agente e prende in ostaggio sei persone. E per quanto possa risultare incredibile, tra loro c'è la detective Jane Rizzoli, al nono mese di gravidanza e in procinto di partorire. Chi è quella sconosciuta? Qual è la sua storia? Perché è così disperata? Domande alle quali Maura dovrà dare risposta, unendo le sue forze a quelle del marito di Jane, l'agente dell'FBI Gabriel Dean, in una disperata corsa contro il tempo. Perché il conto alla rovescia dettato dalla sequestratrice è iniziato. E la verità spalancherà le porte all'orrore...

    The Silent Girl
  9. 10

    A una prima occhiata sembra un college come tanti, forse solo un po’ più esclusivo e curato degli altri. Immerso negli splendidi boschi del Maine, ha un immenso parco, lunghi corridoi, aule luminose, un attrezzato laboratorio di scienze e uno di informatica. Ma a fare la differenza, a Evensong, sono gli alunni. Qui, infatti, vengono accolti ragazzi che hanno subito gravi traumi, che devono riaprire gli occhi e tornare a vivere, perché la morte li ha sfiorati troppo da vicino. Il posto giusto per Teddy Clock: ha solo quattordici anni, ma è già sopravvissuto a due spaventosi massacri. Due anni fa la sua famiglia d’origine è stata sterminata; da poco una misteriosa e spietata mano omicida gli ha strappato anche i genitori adottivi… Solo a Evensong Teddy potrà ricevere l’aiuto di cui ha un disperato bisogno e riuscire a trovare le parole per raccontare al detective Jane Rizzoli quello che ha visto. Ma per Teddy non sembra esistere un posto sicuro e la morte varca anche l’alto cancello del college. Per Jane e la sua amica Maura Isles, l’anatomopatologa, è l’inizio di un’indagine complessa, a caccia di un assassino che sembra mosso solo da un istinto sadico e crudele e che invece ha un piano preciso ed efferato. Un piano che va compreso e sventato prima che sia troppo tardi...

La detective Jane Rizzoli il male ha scelto di combatterlo, senza tentennamenti, ogni giorno, per amore della sua numerosa e confusionaria famiglia d'origine, della sua splendida bambina, di suo marito, agente dell'FBI; per amore della vita e della giustizia. Non potrebbero esistere due donne più diverse eppure, inspiegabilmente, tra Maura e Jane, indagine dopo indagine, è nata un'amicizia che le ha portate ad affrontare e risolvere insieme casi complessi. E ancora una volta Boston ha bisogno del loro coraggio e del loro talento investigativo, perché una mano assassina ha colpito con violenza: la prima vittima è un cacciatore che amava imbalsamare le sue vittime e a cui è stato riservato il medesimo, macabro trattamento di un trofeo di caccia. Un delitto orribile e, secondo Jane, collegabile ad altre morti avvenute in città nello stesso periodo e in passato. Per venire a capo del mistero Jane e Maura dovranno ricostruire un evento del passato, un fatto lontano nel tempo e nello spazio ma le cui ramificazioni si estendono al presente con conseguenze orribili...

But she has to stay quiet, if she wants to stay alive ...

    I Know a Secret
  12. 13

    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 all her neighbors, lies in her own home, brutally bludgeoned. But anything can happen behind closed doors, and Sofia seemed to have plenty of secrets in her last days, making covert phone calls to old contacts and traceless burner phones. When a connection is made between Sofia and the victim of a hit-and-run months earlier, the case grows even 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's become a homicide detective. Maybe the apple didn't fall too far from the tree. Nothing in her neighborhood gets by Angela--definitely not the strange neighbors who have just moved in across the street. In a sleepy town like Angela's, there is no such thing as coincidence, 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. As old sins cast long shadows, Jane and Maura will have to race to discover the truth before the darkness consumes them
