About This Book
From Publishers Weekly
Pregnant women play key roles in this bone-chilling fourth novel in
Gerritsen's edgy, suspenseful series of thrillers featuring Boston
Medical Examiner Maura Isles and Homicide Detective Jane Rizzoli. Both
of the usually gritty crime fighters are uncharacteristically
vulnerable. Rizzoli is carrying her first child, and Isles?divorced and
alone at age 40 and suddenly, unsettlingly aware of her biological
clock?is experiencing decidedly unspiritual feelings for her priest. As
the novel begins, Isles?an adopted child who never knew the identity of
her birth parents?is confronted by the corpse of a murdered woman who is
apparently her identical twin. Another detective, Rick Ballard, comes
forward to say that he knew the victim and is certain her killer is a
powerful pharmaceutical baron known to have stalked her. Isles falls for
the handsome Ballard, but she isn't convinced by his theory, and she
launches an investigation into her sister's past, following the trail to
a state correctional facility and a schizophrenic inmate who may be her
mother. This opens the cobwebbed pages of a nightmarish family album and
leads Isles to a remote cabin in Maine where the long-dead body of a
pregnant woman is discovered buried in the woods. The killer, Isles
discovers, has been murdering pregnant women for decades, making
periodic sweeps of the country. Meanwhile, brief scenes chronicle the
diabolical kidnapping of an affluent pregnant housewife who is kept
buried in a crude coffin. An electric series of startling twists, the
revelation of ghoulishly practical motives and a nail-biting finale make
this Gerritsen's best to date.
