For the second time in his short life, Teddy Clock has survived a
massacre. Two years ago, he barely escaped when his entire family
was slaughtered. Now, at fourteen, in a hideous echo of the past,
Teddy is the lone survivor of his foster family's mass murder.
Orphaned once more, the traumatized teenager has nowhere to turn -
until the Boston PD puts detective Jane Rizzoli on the case. But no
sooner does her investigation begin than Teddy's life almost
ends ... again. Suddenly, what seemed like a grisly coincidence is
unmasked as the mission of a relentless killer.
Jane spirits Teddy to the exclusive Evensong boarding school, a
sanctuary where young victims of violent crime learn the secrets
and skills of survival in a dangerous world. But even behind locked
gates, and surrounded by acres of sheltering Maine wilderness, Jane
fears that Evensong's mysterious benefactors aren't the
only ones watching. When strange blood-splattered dolls are found
dangling from a tree, Jane knows that her instincts are dead on.
And when she meets Will Kennedy and Claire Ward, students whose
tragic pasts bear a shocking resemblance to Teddy's, it becomes
chillingly clear that a circling predator has more than one victim
in mind.
Joining forces with her trusted partner, medical examiner Maura
Isles, Jane is determined to keep these orphans safe from harm. But
an unspeakable secret dooms the children's fate - unless Jane
and Maura can finally put an end to an obsessed killer's
twisted quest.
