More about the book
Boston medical examiner Dr. Maura Isles confronts a chilling reality when she discovers a lifeless body that is her exact double, found shot outside her home. This shocking revelation is compounded by the fact that the deceased shares Maura's birth date and blood type. As the investigation unfolds, it is confirmed through DNA testing that this mysterious woman is Maura's twin sister, thrusting her into a disturbing exploration of her family's dark secrets. As Maura delves deeper, she is drawn to a seaside town in Maine, where more horrifying surprises await her. Complicating matters further, a serial killer is on a cross-country rampage, and Maura must race against time to stop the bloodshed while uncovering the twisted truth about her origins. This journey leads her to confront the mother she never knew—a cold and calculating woman who may hold the key to Maura's past and could pose a lethal threat to her future. The stakes are high as Maura navigates a dangerous path filled with revelations that could change everything she thought she knew about herself and her family.
