NATIONAL BESTSELLER • 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. “An utter pleasure to keep readerly
company with.”— The New York Times 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?
