A joyful event turns into a nightmare for Boston police officer Jane Rizzoli. Instead of calmly giving birth to her first child, she is forced to risk not only her own life, but also the life of a baby who hasn’t been born yet. Soon it becomes clear that the hostage situation Jane is involved in has a far more serious backdrop than Gabriel Dean, Maura Isles, and other members of Rizzoli’s unit could have imagined. But only she is capable of seeing the case through to the end...
The tense narrative style, masterful command of intrigue, brilliant knowledge of medicine and the psychology of criminals, faith in Good and the inevitable punishment of Evil—these make Tess Gerritsen a master of the modern medical thriller.
