Synopsis

In the murky shadows of an alley in Boston's Chinatown a hand has been discovered. On the rooftop above lies a woman's severed head. Two strands of silver hair - not human - cling to the body that lies nearby. These are Detective Jane Rizzoli's only clues, but they are enough for her and Dr Maura Isles to make a startling discovery: that this violent death had a chilling prequel. Seventeen years early a horrifying attack in a Boston restaurant left five people dead. Only one woman connected to the massacre is now still alive - a mysterious martial arts master who knows a secret she dare not tell. A secret that lives and breathes in the shadows of the city. A secret that may not even be human. It soon becomes clear than an ancient evil is stirring in Chinatown: an evil that has killed before, and will kill again - unless Jane and Maura can track it down, and defeat it.

Media Reviews
Praise for The Silent Girl

Suspense doesn't get smarter than this. Not just recommended but mandatory. --Lee Child
She did it to me again! I can't get anything done when Tess puts out a new book and this one caught me as I was starting work on Season 2 of Rizzoli & Isles. So instead of memorizing my lines, I was sucked up into Boston's Chinatown with Jane, Maura, and company and could not put this one down. Just like the other books. Every time.
And to top it off, now I have to wait for the NEXT one to come out--you're killing me, Tess! So good... --Lorraine Bracco
[A] deft thriller. -- Publisher's Weekly
