It is a boiling hot summer in Boston. Adding to the city's woes is a series of shocking crimes in which wealthy men are made to watch while their wives are brutalized -- a sadistic demand that ends indeath. The pattern suggests one man: serial killer Warren Hoyt, recently put behind bars. Police can only assume an acolyte is at large, a maniac basing his attacks on the twisted medical techniques of the madman he so admires. At least that's what Detective Jane Rizozoli thinks. Forced to reconfront the killer who scarred her -- literally and figuratively -- she is determind to finally end Hoyt's awful influence. But this time around, the vendetta is more vicious than she ever would have imagined.

-- Creepy but fun to read. The killer was who I suspected soon after their introduction, but it was still fun to read to the end --
