The Silent Girl (with bonus short story Freaks): A Rizzoli & Isles Novel -- Tess

<b><i>NEW YORK TIMES </i>BESTSELLER</b><br> <b> </b><br> <i>Rizzoli & Isles</i> now a series on TNT <p/> 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. <p/><b>Don't miss Tess Gerritsen's short story "Freaks" in the back of the book.</b><br><br><b>Author:</b> Tess Gerritsen<br><b>Publisher:</b> Ballantine Books<br><b>Published:</b> 06/26/2012<br><b>Pages:</b> 480<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.57lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 7.51h x 4.28w x 1.18d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780345515513<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><p><i>New York Times</i> bestselling author <b>Tess Gerritsen</b> earned international acclaim for her first novel of suspense, <i>Har
