About this ebook
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Â
Rizzoli & Isles now a series on TNT
Â
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.

I loved "The Silent Girl" by Tess Gerretson very much. I gave this book 5 stars because of its many twists and turns throughout the book. This book kept me guessing right up to the very end as to who was the murderer, kidnapper, or fabled Monkey Avenger is. Throughout this book one minute I would think I had all the twists. and turns figured out and then Ms. Gerrertson would have written in some other new character who would have me believe it was her or him committing the deeds. I've not read many of Tess's books, but I've always been a major fan of the TV show. It makes me feel good that the books đź“š written have stayed closed to the premise of the show, because I always felt very welcomed and at home while watching it. I recommend this book and the short Novela "Freakes" that is added at the end of the book to everyone.
