Die again

by Tess Gerritsen · 2014

Detective Jane Rizzoli and medical examiner Maura Isles are called to a grisly scene that looks more like a predator’s kill than a human murder—claw‑like marks on the victim and a body displayed among the trophies of famed big‑game hunter and taxidermist Leon Gott. As the duo untangles the macabre tableau, Maura suspects this is only the latest in a string of wilderness slayings that stretch from remote American forests to the savannas of Africa. Their investigation leads them back to a terrifying safari massacre six years earlier, forcing them to confront a killer who stalks the wild as expertly as any animal he once hunted. In this pulse‑pounding installment of the Rizzoli & Isles series, Gerritsen blends forensic precision with primal terror, delivering a chase that takes the pair from Boston’s streets to the heart of the African bush.
