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 eBook.

Read for dreading

5By MagmaymooseThis book was suspenseful and, as always for Gerritsen, a truly enjoyable read!Another 2 days where I got nothing done
5By Phoenix1972I have read the entire Rizzoli and Isles series, and I can't wait for the next one. This one, Silent Girl, was great. Every time I download another book in this series,I get nothing done until I've finished it. I've actually read from my iPad while making my bed, and read from my iPhone while standing in line at Market Basket, putting my groceries on the conveyor belt with one hand and holding my phone, reading, with the other. I love how there is enough obvious evidence for the reader to figure out some of the mystery, but there's always a twist you didn't see coming. I'd like to read more about Rat and I hope he is in the next book. I love the tv show, but I'm bugged that they didn't put Rizzolies marriage and child in it. Plus the Korsack Angela affair. Hopefully they will stick to the books more closely in the future. Why would they mess with perfection? I hope there are more books in this series in the works for the future. I'm seriously hooked! Now I will buy and download all of Tess Gerritsons other books while I wait for the next Rizzoli and Isles book. I apologize to my husband. Dinners gonna be late again! Janet J. HartEnjoyed as much as TV series

4By Lavender613I loved this book. The references to Asian history made the storyline even more enjoyable to read. My daughter loved it also.The Silent Girl
4By Larry LohmanI give it solid four stars. I think it more entertaining now that the characters are on TV. I see the faces from TV as I read the book. What fun! Not a must read, but certainly enjoyable on a rainy day here in Seattle when you just want an easy book a good cup of coffee. LarryFranniegirl
