Detective Jane Rizzoli is called into work to help on a homicide. A family has been slaughtered. Fourteen-year-old foster child Teddy Clock is the lone survivor. Teddy hid during the carnage, running to the neighbors when the coast was clear. As Jane questions Teddy, she finds that he was placed in foster care two years ago after his own family was killed in an explosion. When someone tries to kill Teddy once again, Jane contact Maura Isles who is at a boarding school in Maine visiting a young friend. This school has heavy security, so Jane decides to place Teddy there. When she arrives, Maura informs her that there are two students at the school with stories similar to Teddy. Jane and Maura work to uncover who is trying to kill three young teenagers who seemingly have nothing else in common.

This story grabbed me right from the start. Three kids have each had their families and foster families murdered. They are from different parts of the country and do not know each other. There were lots of twists and turns in this book. I had a hard time putting it down. My rating: 5 Stars.
