The Silent Girl (with bonus short story Freaks): A Rizzoli & Isles Novel

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Rizzoli & Isles now a series on TNT

In the murky shadows of Boston s Chinatown lies a severed hand. On the tenement rooftop above is the corpse belonging to that hand, a red-haired woman dressed in black, her head nearly decapitated. Two strands of silver hair not human cling to her body. They are homicide cop Jane Rizzoli s only clues, but they re enough for her and medical examiner Maura Isles to make the startling discovery: that this violent death had a chilling prequel. Nineteen years earlier, a horrifying murder-suicide in a Chinatown restaurant left five people dead. One woman connected to that massacre is still alive a mysterious martial arts master who is now the target of someone, or something, deeply and relentlessly evil. Cracking a crime with bone-chilling echoes of an ancient Chinese legend, Rizzoli and Isles must outwit an unseen enemy with centuries of cunning and a swift, avenging blade.

Don t miss Tess Gerritsen s short story Freaks in the back of the book.
