Not even the icy temperatures of a typical New England winter can match the bone-chilling scene of carnage discovered in the early morning hours at the chapel of Our Lady of Divine Light. Within the sanctuary walls of the cloistered convent, now stained with blood, lie two nuns - one dead, one critically injured; victims of an unspeakably savage attacker. The brutal crime appears to be without motive, and the elderly nuns in residence can offer little help in the police investigation. But medical examiner Maura Isles' autopsy of the dead woman yields a shocking surprise: twenty-year-old Sister Camille, the order's sole novice, had given birth before she was murdered. The disturbing case takes a stunning new turn when another woman is found murdered in an abandoned building, her features obliterated. Together, Isles and homicide detective Jane Rizzoli uncover an ancient horror that connects these terrible slaughters. As long-buried secrets come to light, Maura Isles finds herself drawn inexorably toward the heart of an investigation that strikes closer and closer to home, and toward the dawning revelation - too shattering to consider - of the killer's identity. As spine-tingling as it is mind-jolting, The Sinner finds Tess Gerritsen in peak form. Beneath its layers of startling insight into the souls of its characters, and the richly wrought depiction of the everyday war between good and evil, beats the unstoppable heart of an irresistible thriller.

Boston medical examiner Dr. Maura Isles, and detective Jane Rizzoli work together to put the pieces together in this bizarre case. Why would anyone viciously bludgeon two nuns in a chapel, killing one, and the other hanging on by a thread? As the investigation and forensics move along, they find out there is a lot more to this than could have been imagined. How could a nun, confined to the convent, have gotten pregnant? Who was the father, the priest? Then there?s another women, found in an abandoned building, mutilated beyond recognition. How do they tie together, and what roll does a horrendous massacre, of an entire village, fit in? This is a great ?who done it?, with lots of details. Tess Gerritsen?s books are always exciting to read.
