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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As spine-tingling as it is mind-jolting, \u003ci\u003eThe Sinner\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePRAISE FOR TESS GERRITSEN\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Surgeon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e“A briskly paced, terrifically suspenseful work that steadily builds toward a tense   and terrifying climax.”\u003cbr\u003e —\u003ci\u003ePeople\u003c\/i\u003e (Page-Turner of the week)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “Creepy . . .
