> Fiction Books > General Books

Christmas Eve in Boston is no holy night for medical examiner Dr. Maura Isles when Detective Jane Rizzoli summons her from midnight mass to the scene of an unspeakably gruesome homicide. In a ramshackle apartment, bathed in blood, a young woman has been dismembered in an act of carnage that has left even veteran cops in shock. The only clue is the identity of the last person called from the dead girl's phone: Dr. Joyce O'Donnell, a celebrity psychiatrist who's made her name controversially defending serial murderers. Who placed the final call? The victim? Or her killer?True to form, Dr. O'Donnell isn't inclined to cooperate with police. She'd rather push Rizzoli's buttons with taunting reminders of Warren Hoyt ? the imprisoned psychopath who nearly made Rizzoli one of his grisly trophies. It's not territory Rizzoli is eager to revisit; but she fears her only chance in finding the killer may lie in tapping into the mind of the man who still haunts her darkest dreams. Who better than Hoyt, a.k.a. the Surgeon, to offer crucial insights into the motivations of a killer clearly following in his bloody footprints? Then a second victim is butchered on the Beacon Hill doorstep of The Mephisto Club, an eccentric society obsessed with studying the existence of evil and confronting it in its purest form. The Club may have found the ultimate secret admirer. But has the admirer come to pay homage... or to unleash hell?
