Vroege Recensenten

No one takes readers to the dark side and back with more razor-sharp jolts and sheer suspense than New York Times bestselling author Tess Gerritsen. In a dark alley in Boston's Chinatown lies a female's severed hand. On the tenement rooftop above is the corpse belonging to that hand, a red-haired woman dressed all in black. Two strands of silver hair--not human--cling to her body. These and other clues lead homicide cop Jane Rizzoli and medical examiner Maura Isles to make a startling discovery: This violent death has a chilling prequel. Nineteen years earlier, a horrifying murder-suicide in a Chinatown restaurant left five people dead. But one woman connected to that massacre is still alive: a mysterious martial arts master who knows a secret she dares not tell, a secret that lives and breathes in the shadows of Chinatown. A secret that may not even be human. Now she's the target of someone, or something, deeply and relentlessly evil. Cracking a crime with bone-chilling echoes of an ancient Chinese legend, Rizzoli & Isles must outwit an unseen enemy with centuries of cunning--and swift, avenging blade.
