The first body is a mystery.
She’s young. She’s beautiful. And her corpse, laid out in the office of Boston medical examiner Kat Novak, betrays no secrets—except for a matchbook clutched in one stiff hand, seven numbers scrawled inside.
The next body is a warning.
When a second victim is discovered, Kat begins to fear that a serial killer is stalking the streets. The police are sceptical. The mayor won’t listen. And Kat’s chief suspect is one of the town’s most prominent citizens.
The final body…might be hers.
With the death toll rising, Kat races to expose a deadly predator who is closer than she ever dreamt. And every move she makes could be her very last.

"I don't remember what other Tess Gerritsen book I read several years ago, but I was not overly impressed and had not read anything else by her since. I checked out this audiobook from the public library to listen to in the truck, and was surprised how interested I became in it. It features full character-development, interesting plotline, and natural dialogue."

" Tess Gerritsen write the Rizzoli and Isles books, so I thought this stand-alone would be good. It was very good. Tess writes well, keeps you guessing, and knows how to pack a punch at the end. "
— Phillis, 2/18/2014" I have read so many of her books, but this is her first and Tess draws you into the story from the first page to the last. "
— Ruth, 2/18/2014" A fast read type of book. Not really what I enjoy but a nice break. A thriller mystery with a strong romance angle! "
— Veronica, 2/13/2014" Read this as an ebook on my subway commute and it was just right for that purpose. Not so thrilling that I became engrossed and missed my stop but entertaining enough that I looked forward to reading a few bits every day. As the author and several reviewers noted, this book is the crossover point from the author writing romance novels (under a different name) and her more popular medical thrillers, and it's evident that she is transitioning when reading it. As a stand alone light read its enjoyable but fans of Rizzoli and Isles may be disappointed. "
— Amy, 1/28/2014" This is one of her earlier books republished but still a good read. "
— Pauline, 1/13/2014" Whilst Kev is driving to Chicago i have downloaded this audio and i am listening to the book on my nook,this is a pretty good way to read the book,hehehe ! "
— Sheri, 12/30/2013" A good story. Like the mixture of Thriller, medical, with a touch of romance. "
— Michaela, 12/30/2013" This was the first Tess Gerritsen novel I have read and I really enjoyed it. Much gentler than the usual type of crime thriller I usually read and it contained more "romance" but still very good. I liked the pace and read the whole thing in two sittings. The writing quality was excellent. "
— Chris, 12/23/2013" Loved the latest addition as it gives an insight into the suthor as this was her first crime novel. "
— Caz, 12/19/2013" Good book! I will continue to read more by her. "
