Perfect for you if...

  • You love detective procedurals with real stakes and character depth, especially the Rizzoli & Isles dynamic of brilliant forensics meeting street-smart investigation.
  • You're drawn to psychological thrillers that weave past trauma into present danger without feeling exploitative.
  • You want a crime novel that treats its vulnerable characters with respect while delivering genuine page-turning tension.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer standalone mysteries over series novels, since this is best enjoyed knowing Jane and Maura's history.
  • You're sensitive to storylines involving harm to children, as this one centres on young victims and predatory obsession.
  • You expect your thrillers to be fast-paced and lean; this one takes time to build character and backstory.

About this book

Fourteen-year-old Teddy Clock has survived a massacre for the second time in his life. After his foster family is murdered, Detective Jane Rizzoli of the Boston PD takes on his case and arranges for him to stay at Evensong, an exclusive boarding school that serves as a sanctuary for young victims of violent crime. At Evensong, Jane becomes concerned that the school's benefactors may not be the only ones monitoring Teddy. When she discovers two other students whose pasts share striking similarities to Teddy's, it becomes apparent that a predator is targeting multiple victims. Jane partners with medical examiner Maura Isles to pursue an obsessed killer before a hidden secret determines the children's fate. This edition includes the bonus short story "John Doe" and a preview of Gerritsen's novel Girl Missing.
