Maura Isles has seen a lot of terrible things. When you work as a forensic scientist, you are no longer afraid of death. The body of a woman who looked exactly like Maura fell onto the sectional table. The forensic scientist was filled with real horror. Who was this stranger? A mysterious twin sister? Or was it just a coincidence? If so, who was the killer really after: this girl or Maura? Or is it a warning? It's time to find answers to all the questions, outrunning the killer and getting on the trail of someone who has been evading justice for years...
Boston is stunned by the terrible news: a young novice has been brutally murdered in a local monastery. Soon after, another murder occurs: the mutilated body of an unknown woman is found in an abandoned restaurant. It seems that these two crimes are in no way connected. Detective Rizzoli and forensic scientist Isles begin a complex investigation. Step by step, they delve into the victims' pasts. Soon they learn that things happened within the sacred walls of the convent that the nuns would rather keep quiet. Temptations and terrible secrets, the secrets of the Indian village of Bara, the terrible events of the past... And now it's time for redemption...
A dead girl in the morgue turns out to be... alive. Pathologist Maura Isles notices this by accident and saves her. However, the suicide bomber is in no hurry to thank her. She kills the guard and takes the hospital staff and patients hostage. Among them is the pregnant detective Jane Rizzoli. Maura and Jane's husband, FBI agent Gabriel, try to find out who the stranger is taking revenge on and why. But the Washington SWAT team that breaks into the hospital shoots the suicide bomber. At the last moment, the girl manages to whisper a single phrase to Jane. This is the key that unlocks the door to the criminal secrets of the highest echelons of power in the United States.
This Christmas was supposed to be a miracle. But it turned into a nightmare. Before Jane Rizzoli's eyes, her parents' long-standing marriage collapses, and her friend Maura confesses to a sinful relationship with a priest. One by one, gruesome murders, similar to ritual sacrifices, take place. Shocked, Detective Rizzoli begins her usual job: finding the killer. The investigation leads Jane to the mysterious Mephisto Foundation, whose members are convinced that these murders are the work of a demon that walks among people. What is true and what is fiction in their words? What is the director of the foundation, Anthony Sansone, hiding? And does his organisation really want to help, or is it just leading the police astray? There are so many questions. And meanwhile, the killer is ready to strike again...
Book 6: The Guardians of Death
A mysterious mummy is found in the basement of the museum, which is not listed among the exhibits. But during the examination, Maura Isles comes to startling conclusions. The fake find of ancient Egypt turns out to be the body of a recently murdered woman. The killer mummified her in the best traditions of the Egyptians. The police and Jane Rizzoli personally take on this gruesome case. Soon, other "preserved" female bodies are found in the dungeon. Who is behind this: a serial killer obsessed with the ancient art of mummification, or just a psycho? What Detective Jane doesn't know is that there is one more victim missing from his collection. For her sake, he is ready to kill again and again.
A mortal danger threatens everyone who gets in the way of the maniac. He will not feel pity when shedding the blood of innocents. But what will he do when he finally hunts down his last victim, having found her after all these years?
He comes only at night. He silently enters the house. He sneaks into the bedroom, where lonely women, just waking up from sleep, find themselves in a terrifying nightmare. Given what he does to his victims, we can assume that the thief knows a lot about medicine. That is why he is called the Surgeon.
Thomas Moore and Jane Rizzoli are investigating a series of gruesome murders. The criminal imitates the handwriting of a serial maniac who was killed two years ago. He copies even such small details that few people know about. The last of the dead maniac's victims, Catherine Cordell, killed him, and that is why she becomes the new killer's target. With each subsequent victim, the unknown is getting closer to Katherine. It's up to Thomas and Jane to stop the brilliant killer, no matter what it takes.
After having an accident on a snowy mountain road, Dr Maura Isles and her friends are forced to seek shelter in a village with the bizarre name of Kingdom of Heaven. It's an unmarked place, with no electricity and no mobile phone reception... And there's not a soul around - just twelve identical houses, unlocked, with open windows, untouched frozen food on the tables, and the same portrait of a black-haired man with a penetrating gaze in each living room.
In one of the houses, Maura comes across a gruesome discovery - a pool of dried blood on the wooden floor at the foot of the stairs. Has a murder been committed here? Were the missing locals involved? Or is there a dangerous criminal operating in the neighbourhood? The search for the truth will expose Maura and her friends to certain death...
Book 9: The Girl Who Doesn't Speak
Detective Jane Rizzoli least of all believed that she would ever investigate the antics of... otherworldly forces? Yet that's exactly the explanation she receives when she arrives at a crime scene in Boston's Chinatown. A ghost killer who chops off women's hands and slits their throats, leaving a piece of someone else's hair next to the victim. Jane is convinced that there is no mysticism here. Someone very much alive and real has started a bloody massacre in the city. The investigation leads the detectives to an event that happened almost twenty years ago: a mass murder in Boston's Chinatown. Has someone decided to repeat the bloody story from the past? Or to finish what they started?
