The Silent Girl

Mystery Detective Fiction Thriller Supernatural Horror

Description

When a severed hand and a brutally murdered woman are discovered in Boston's Chinatown, homicide detective Jane Rizzoli and medical examiner Maura Isles uncover a chilling connection to a massacre that occurred nineteen years earlier. Their investigation leads them to a mysterious martial arts master—one of the few survivors of that horrifying crime—who has now become the target of a relentless and seemingly supernatural killer. As the detectives race to solve a case rooted in ancient Chinese legend and centuries-old vengeance, they must confront an enemy that is far more cunning and deadly than they ever imagined. With echoes of the past colliding violently with the present, Rizzoli and Isles must use all their skills to stop a swift, avenging blade before it claims another victim. Gerritsen masterfully weaves together procedural crime-solving with dark mythology in this gripping installment of the bestselling series.
