A
renowned taxidermist in Boston is found dead, his body displayed in a
macabre and even ironic way, considering his line of work. Leon Gott,
the taxidermist who also cherishes the hunt and has a home filled with
mounted trophies, had plenty of enemies amongst the animal-loving crowd.
But could one of them responsible for his horrific murder?
Six
years ago, a group of seven strangers traveled deep into the safari of
Botswana for the experience of a lifetime. Surrounded by beasts who
could devour them, their only safety comes from the man with the rifle:
their bush guide. But the wild animals of Africa aren't the only ones
willing to hunt and kill. There is a hunter amongst them. And only one
will walk away from that safari alive.
Horrors on two different
continents years apart. And yet, as Jane Rizzoli and Maura Isles dig
deeper into the investigation of Leon Gott's homicide, the connections
start appearing. Could the person responsible for a massacre of seven
people in Africa have come to Boston to hunt?

Gerritsen has done it again! I was sucked in almost immediately and
didn't want to put the book down. I really enjoyed the flashback
chapters and changing from third-person narrative to first-person.
Another skillfully written suspense novel that kept me riveted and
leaves me anxiously anticipating her next Rizzoli and Isles thriller!
