LAST TO DIE The new Rizzoli & Isles novel by New York Times bestseller
TESS GERRITSEN A Ballantine Hardcover to be published on August 28, 2012 Pulse-pounding…[Gerritsen] crafts several sequences that will leave readers anxious about the outcome. —Publishers Weekly, on LAST TO DIE "Suspense doesn't get smarter than this. The best yet in an outstanding series— not just recommended, but mandatory." —Lee Child, on The Silent Girl “Gerritsen has an imagination that allows her to conjure up depths of human behavior so dark and frightening that she makes Edgar Allan Poe and H.P. Lovecraft seem like goody-two-shoes.” —Chicago Tribune Tess Gerritsen is without a doubt one of today’s biggest suspense superstars. This former MD-turned-internationally-bestselling author took her profile to a whole new level when TNT launched their television series Rizzoli & Isles starring Angie Harmon and Sasha
Alexander, based on her bestselling novels featuring the fan-favorite characters of medical examiner Dr. Maura Isles and Boston homicide detective Jane Rizzoli. The premiere became a record-breaker for cable television and spun off the first ever RizzlesCon—a fan convention of the show and characters—in Anaheim this summer. Now, Gerritsen returns and brings back Jane and Maura for their most emotional case yet in LAST TO DIE (A Ballantine Hardcover onsale August 28, 2012). For the second time in his short life, Teddy Clock has survived a massacre. Two years ago, he barely escaped when his entire family was slaughtered. Now, Teddy is the lone survivor of his foster family’s mass murder. Orphaned once more, the traumatized teenager has nowhere to turn—until the Boston PD puts detective Jane Rizzoli on the case. Determined to protect this young man, Jane discovers that what seemed like a coincidence is instead just one horrifying part of a relentless killer’s merciless mission. Teddy is escorted to the exclusive Evensong boarding school, a sanctuary where young victims of violent crime learn the secrets and skills of survival in a dangerous world. But even behind locked gates, and surrounded by acres of sheltering Maine wilderness, Jane fears that Evensong’s mysterious benefactors aren’t the only ones watching. Together with Maura, Jane is determined to keep these orphans safe from harm. But an unspeakable secret dooms the children’s fate—unless Jane and Maura both can finally put an end to an obsessed killer’s twisted quest.
