About the Book

From the "New York Times" bestselling author of "The Surgeon" and "The Apprentice" comes a chilling new novel of suspense featuring Boston medical examiner Dr. Maura Isles, on the deadly trail of an anonymous madman who's committed an unholy crime. . . . THE SINNER 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's autopsy of the dead woman yields a shocking surprise: Twenty-year-old Sister Camille, the order's sole novice, gave birth before she was murdered. Then the disturbing case takes a stunning new turn when another woman is found murdered in an abandoned building, her body mutilated beyond recognition. 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 a dawning revelation about the killer's identity too shattering to consider. As spine-tingling as it is mind-jolting, "The Sinner" showcases Tess Gerritsen in peak form--bringing her intimate knowledge of the dark depths of criminal investigation brilliantly to bear. 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. Tess Gerritsen left a successful practice as an internist to raise her children and concentrate on her writing. She gained nationwide acclaim for her first novel of medical suspense, the "New York Times" bestseller "Harvest." She is also the author of the bestsellers "Life Support," "Bloodstream," "Gravity," and "The" "Surgeon" and "The Apprentice." Tess Gerritsen lives in Maine.

"--The Washington Post Book World ""An adrenaline rush from start to finish." --IRIS JOHANSEN "Masterful . . . Gerritsen moves into the Thomas Harris class, though with a style all her own." --"Kirkus Reviews" (starred review) "From the Hardcover edition."

Review :
"A RICHLY TEXTURED THRILLER WITH A DARK CORE OF MASS MURDER AND AFFAIRS OF THE HEART." -"St. Petersburg Times" "[Gerritsen] has an imagination that allows her to conjure up depths of human behavior so dark and frightening that she makes Edgar Allan Poe and H. P. Lovecraft seem like goody-two-shoes." -"Chicago Tribune" "Satisfying . . . "The Sinner" is as busy and bumpy as a storm-filled sky." -"Entertainment Weekly" (Editor's Choice) "MAY JUST BE THE THRILLER OF THE YEAR . . . THIS IS ONE YOU WON'T WANT TO MISS." -"Herald Journal "(NC) "A suspenseful, white-knuckle tale all the way to the end . . . Gerritsen is not only talented with words, she has unusual medical and scientific expertise, which gives all her books a precious credibility. . . . It's not only a terrific story, it provokes thought about a lot of other issues of international import. And it's real, without special effects, a story that emanates from the real life around us." -"Deseret News" (Salt Lake City, UT) "Gerritsen's weaving of unusual crime scenes, complicated investigations, lurid medical details, and moments of visceral fear is truly unique. . . . ["The Sinner"] will keep the reader quickly turning pages. . . . Into these terrors forges Maura Isles, Queen of the Dead, and riveted, we readers follow her." -"Sun Journal" (Lewiston, ME) "Dark emotions and dangerous secrets permeate this unusually chilling novel. . . . Another gut-wrenching tale from a true master." -"Romantic Times" (Top Pick) "Gerritsen just keeps getting better with each book. . . . ["The Sinner"] moves at a heart pounding pace without a word wasted." -"The Drood Review of Mystery" "Assured, richly shaded." -"Publishers Weekly" "Another captivating, horrific thriller in her extremely popular canon." -"Booklist" "Well-executed and entertaining." -"News Tribune" (Tacoma, WA) "From the Paperback edition."
