In the twelfth gripping novel featuring Jane Rizzoli and Maura Isles, the crime-solving duo are faced with the gruesomely staged murder of a horror film producer.

The crime scene is unlike any that Detective Rizzoli and medical examiner Maura Isles have ever before encountered. The woman lies in apparently peaceful repose on her bed, and Maura finds no apparent cause of death, but there is no doubt the woman is indeed dead. The victims eyes have been removed and placed in the palm of her hand, a gesture that echoes the terrifying films she produces. Is a crazed movie fan reenacting scenes from those disturbing films?

When another victim is found, again with no apparent cause of death, again with a grotesquely staged crime scene, Jane and Maura realize the killer has widened his circle of targets. Hes chosen one particular woman for his next victim, and she knows hes coming for her next. Shes the only one who can help Jane and Maura catch the killer. But she knows a secret. And its a secret shell never tell.
