While visiting Julian “Rat” Perkins, the 16-year-old boy with whom she
survived a terrible ordeal, Maura Isles is startled to learn that all
the students at Evensong are survivors of violence. Isolated in the
Maine wilderness, the boarding school teaches its students the science
and investigative skills needed for a high-level crime fighting career.
Meanwhile in Boston, Detective Jane Rizzoli investigates the murder of
Teddy Clock’s foster family, a slaughter that only Teddy survived.
When
Teddy is also threatened, Rizzoli hides him at Evensong. But she and
Maura discover that even the secluded school cannot shut out a gathering
threat, and that the key to the murders is within its gates.
