New Releases by Tess Gerritsen

En perfekt plats för ett lugnt pensionärsliv ... Tills de hittar dig. Maggie Bird har många färdigheter. Hon är hönsuppfödare och en trevlig granne, en till synes helt vanlig pensionär som slagit sig ner i den lilla kuststaden Purity i Maine. Hon är också en exceptionellt skicklig skytt. Och hon talar aldrig om sitt förflutna. Men när en oidentifierad kropp hittas upp på Maggies uppfart inser hon att hennes tidigare liv har hunnit ikapp henne. Det har gått sexton år sedan hennes senaste uppdrag inom CIA – ett uppdrag som fick förödande konsekvenser. Det är nu den så kallade Martini-klubben kommer in i bilden, en bokklubb (om någon skulle fråga) för pensionärer, där alla medlemmar i själva verket är före detta agenter som dragit sig tillbaka till den lilla staden för ett liv i skymundan. Med hjälp av sina gamla vänner – och alltid ett steg före den envise lokala polischefen – kanske Maggie fortfarande har en chans att rädda det nya liv hon skapat åt sig själv. --- "Jag älskade den. En otroligt underhållande bok!" – Ann Cleeves "Gerritsen är en född berättare och det märks tydligare än någonsin i den här nya serien. Oemotståndlig och varmt rekommenderad!" – Lee Child "Det påminner lite om Richard Osman, men Gerritsen ger oss en mörkare och fängslande spänningsupplevelse." – The Mail on Sunday "Det är action på varje sida, dramatiska förvecklingar och en myriad av fascinerande karaktärer." – David Baldacci "Underhållande och fängslande ... Maggie och hennes gråhåriga följeslagare kan utan problem bära upp fler böcker i den här serien." – Publishers Weekly "En fängslande berättelse full av spännande karaktärer. Jag ser fram emot att läsa resten av serien." – Kathy Reichs

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Rizzoli & Isles are back! From New York Times bestselling author Tess Gerritsen, this “shocking and fast-paced” (Karin Slaughter) thriller has Jane and Maura investigating a brutal murder with dire implications, and this time, with Jane’s intrepid mother, Angela, looking into a mystery of her own. “An utter pleasure to keep readerly company with.”—The New York Times Mothers know best . . . But who will listen? Boston homicide detective Jane Rizzoli and medical examiner Maura Isles are newly plagued by what seems like a completely senseless murder. Sofia Suarez, a widow and nurse who was universally liked by her neighbors, lies bludgeoned to death in her own home. But anything can happen behind closed doors, and Sofia seemed to have plenty of secrets in her last days, making covert phone calls to traceless burner phones. When Jane finally makes a connection between Sofia and the victim of a hit-and-run from months earlier, the case only grows more blurry. What exactly was Sofia involved in? One thing is clear: The killer will do anything it takes to keep their secret safe. Meanwhile, Angela Rizzoli hasn’t had a decent night’s sleep in all the years since her daughter became a homicide detective. Maybe the apple didn’t fall too far from the tree: Nothing in Angela’s neighborhood gets by her—not the gossip about a runaway teenager down the block and definitely not the strange neighbors who have just moved in across the street. Angela’s sure there’s no such thing as coincidence in her sleepy suburb. If only Jane would listen—instead she writes off Angela’s concerns as the result of an overactive imagination. But Angela’s convinced there’s a real wolf in her vicinity, and her cries might now fall on deaf ears. With so much happening on the Sofia case, Jane and Maura already struggle to see the forest for the trees, but will they lose sight of something sinister happening much closer to home?

Have you met Rizzoli & Isles yet? Detective Jane Rizzoli and Forensic Pathologist Maura Isles are investigating a gruesome and seemingly senseless murder. The victim was a respected, much loved nurse. But she was guarding a dangerous secret - a secret that may have lead the killer straight to her door. Meanwhile, Jane''s watchful mother Angela Rizzoli is convinced there''s something strange, perhaps even dangerous, about her new neighbours across the street. The problem is, no one is listening to her. Not even her own daughter. Ignored and frustrated, and with danger mounting in her neighbourhood, Angela may be forced to take action on her own . . . ''Outstanding - inventive, scary, and funny. Listen to Me is Gerritsen at her best!''

Un asesino silencioso se desliza en las casas de las mujeres y entra en las habitaciones mientras ellas duermen. La precisión de las heridas que les inflige sugiere que es un experto en medicina, por lo que los diarios de Boston y los atemorizados lectores comienzan a llamarlo "el cirujano". La única clave de que dispone la policía es la doctora Catherine Cordell, víctima hace dos años de un crimen muy parecido. Ahora ella esconde su temor al contacto con otras personas bajo un exterior frío y elegante, y una bien ganada reputación como cirujana de primer nivel. Pero esta cuidadosa fachada está a punto de caer ya que el nuevo asesino recrea, con escalofriante precisión, los detalles de la propia agonía de Catherine. Con cada nuevo asesinato parece estar persiguiéndola y acercarse cada vez más...

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Jane Rizzoli and Maura Isles—the inspiration for the smash hit TNT series—continue their bestselling crime-solving streak, as they pursue a shadowy psychopath keeping secrets and taking lives. “Suspense doesn’t get smarter than this.”—Lee Child Two separate homicides, at different locations, with unrelated victims, have more in common than just being investigated by Boston PD detective Jane Rizzoli and medical examiner Maura Isles. In both cases, the bodies bear startling wounds—yet the actual cause of death is unknown. It’s a doubly challenging case for the cop and the coroner to be taking on, at a fraught time for both of them. As Jane struggles to save her mother from the crumbling marriage that threatens to bury her, Maura grapples with the imminent death of her own mother—infamous serial killer Amalthea Lank. While Jane tends to her mother, there’s nothing Maura can do for Amalthea, except endure one final battle of wills with the woman whose shadow has haunted her all her life. Though succumbing to cancer, Amalthea hasn’t lost her taste for manipulating her estranged daughter—this time by dangling a cryptic clue about the two bizarre murders Maura and Jane are desperately trying to solve. But whatever the dying convict knows is only a piece of the puzzle. Soon the investigation leads to a secretive young woman who survived a shocking abuse scandal, an independent horror film that may be rooted in reality, and a slew of martyred saints who died cruel and unusual deaths. And just when Rizzoli and Isles think they’ve cornered a devilish predator, the long-buried past rears its head—and threatens to engulf more innocent lives, including their own. Praise for I Know a Secret: A Rizzoli & Isles Novel “Tess Gerritsen brings back Boston homicide detective Jane Rizzoli and medical examiner Maura Isles to tackle another baffling mystery . . . weaving a thriller that slowly unfolds in unexpected ways. . . . Rizzoli and Isles feel like real people, and readers who are fans of either the book series or the former TV show know there’s an emotional angle to the proceedings and care about everything that happens to the duo. . . . Gerritsen writes effortlessly, and this is another stellar entry in the series.”—Associated Press “The unforgettable team of Rizzoli and Isles is back working on a chilling and difficult case. . . . The twists and turns this novel takes will force Gerritsen’s heroines to face difficult emotions and their own biases. As always, Gerritsen is a master storyteller!”—RT Book Reviews “The characters converge in dynamic, diabolical ways and, in doing so, reveal past events that continue to haunt the present day. . . . Gerritsen continues to surprise with the depth and range of her storytelling ambitions. . . . Like the best of big-screen boogeyman blockbusters, there’s complex villainy, a distortion between appearance and reality, and a third-act plot twist that will both surprise and satisfy. This one’s a tasty treat with substance.”—CriminalElement.com “Be prepared for an exciting ride with unexpected twists and terrific writing.”—Library Journal

But she knows she has to stay quiet, if she wants to stay alive . . . ''A fast-paced, dark, edgy mystery/thriller filled with unremitting suspense.'' Huffington Post Rizzoli & Isles are back!

«Non mi perdo mai un romanzo di Tess Gerritsen.» Stephen King Il primo romanzo ambientato in Italia di un autrice bestseller mondiale Una nuova protagonista, una storia d'amore e di follia, un segreto letale nascosto tra le note di un antico spartito. Durante un viaggio a Roma, la violinista americana Julia Ansdell incappa in uno strano manoscritto che contiene uno spartito. Si tratta di una musica inedita, un valzer dal titolo “Incendio”, composto da un autore misterioso. Una melodia che ha un ritmo unico e inconfondibile, come il battito del cuore. Quello che Julia non sa è che, una volta eseguita quella composizione al violino, le cose cambieranno per sempre. Iniziano a susseguirsi episodi sempre più inquietanti, che coinvolgono anche sua figlia, e quando comprende che a rischio non c’è solo la sua sanità mentale, ma anche la sua stessa vita, Julia decide che esiste un solo modo per salvarsi: andare alla radice del mistero. Julia torna in Italia e, viaggiando tra Venezia e Roma per le sue ricerche, scopre che l’autore del meraviglioso valzer è Lorenzo Todesco, un ebreo che ha vissuto un amore tanto potente quanto tormentato negli anni fra il 1938 e il 1944, in una Roma straziata dalla guerra e dalle leggi razziali del Fascismo. Le due storie, quella di Julia e quella di Lorenzo, si intrecciano via via trascinando con sé il lettore fino a una sconvolgente conclusione, da autentica maestra del thriller. «Da Tess Gerritsen non ci si può aspettare un libro rilassante: Il battito del sangue è ricco di suspense come gli altri suoi romanzi, ma ha qualcosa di diverso. La vicenda tocca temi forti, come le difficoltà degli ebrei durante l'occupazione nazista in Italia, mentre la straordinaria abilità nel gestire l'intreccio rimane quella di sempre» Financial Times

The precision of his methods suggests that he is a deranged man of medicine, prompting the Boston newspapers to dub him “The Surgeon.” Led by Detectives Thomas Moore and Jane Rizzoli, the cops must consult the victim of a nearly identical crime: Two years ago, Dr. Catherine Cordell fought back and filled an attacker before he could complete his assault. Now this new killer is re-creating, with chilling accuracy, the details of Cordell’s ordeal. With every new murder he seems to be taunting her, cutting ever closer, from her hospital to her home. And neither Moore nor Rizzoli can protect Cordell from a ruthless hunter who somehow understands—and savors—the secret fears of every woman he kills. “[A] top-grade thriller . . . Sharp characters stitch your eye to the page. An all-nighter.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “Creepy . . . will exert a powerful grip on readers.”—Chicago Tribune

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Tess Gerritsen’s relentless, inventive novels take readers on pulse-racing thrill rides that are as satisfying as they are heart-stopping. Now, in this edge-of-your-seat suspense novel, a mysteriously isolated town stands abandoned as a silent watcher waits. In Wyoming for a medical conference, Boston medical examiner Maura Isles joins a group of friends on a spur-of-the-moment ski trip. But when their SUV stalls on a snow-choked mountain road, they’re stranded with no help in sight. As night falls, the group seeks refuge from the blizzard in the remote village of Kingdom Come, where twelve eerily identical houses stand dark and abandoned. Something terrible has happened in Kingdom Come: Meals sit untouched on tables, cars are still parked in garages. The town’s previous residents seem to have vanished into thin air, but footprints in the snow betray the presence of someone who still lurks in the cold darkness—someone who is watching Maura and her friends. Days later, Boston homicide detective Jane Rizzoli receives the grim news that Maura’s charred body has been found in a mountain ravine. Shocked and grieving, Jane is determined to learn what happened to her friend. The investigation plunges Jane into the twisted history of Kingdom Come, where a gruesome discovery lies buried beneath the snow. As horrifying revelations come to light, Jane closes in on an enemy both powerful and merciless—and the chilling truth about Maura’s fate.

In this harrowing medical thriller filled with suspense and brilliantly crafted twists, Tess Gerritsen—the author of the acclaimed Rizzoli & Isles series that inspired the hit television show—delivers a pulse-pounding tale that “will make your heart skip a beat” (USA TODAY). For Dr. Abby DiMatteo, the long road to Boston’s Bayside Hospital has been anything but easy. Now, immersed in the grinding fatigue of her second year as a surgical resident, she’s elated when the hospital’s elite cardiac transplant team taps her as a potential recruit. But Abby soon makes an anguished, crucial decision that jeopardizes her entire career. A car crash victim’s healthy heart is ready to be harvested; it is immediately cross-matched to a wealthy private patient, Nina Voss. Abby hatches a bold plan to make sure that the transplant goes instead to a dying seventeen-year-old boy who is also a perfect match. The repercussions are powerful and swift and Abby is shaken but unrepentant—until she meets the frail, tormented Nina. Then a new heart for Nina Voss suddenly appears, her transplant is completed, and Abby makes a terrible discovery: Nina’s heart has not come through the proper channels. Defying Bayside Hospital’s demands for silence, Abby plunges into an investigation that reveals an intricate, and murderous, chain of deceptions. Every move Abby makes spawns a vicious backlash and, in a ship anchored in the stagnant waters of Boston Harbor, a final, grisly discovery lies waiting…
