The nameless and beautiful woman appears to be just another corpse in the morgue. But when medical examiner Maura Isles unzips the body bag and looks down at what she s been told is an apparent suicide, she gets the fright of her life.

The corpse opens its eyes.

Now very much alive, the dead woman is rushed to the hospital where her next action shocks everyone. With cool precision, she murders a security guard and seizes hostages. One of those hostages is a very pregnant patient: Jane Rizzoli.

Who is this mysterious hostage-taker, and what does she want? As tense hours tick by, Maura joins forces with Jane s husband, FBI agent Gabriel Dean, to track down the nameless woman s identity.

But only Jane, trapped with the armed madwoman, holds the key to the mystery. And only she can solve it if she survives the night.
