Last to Die by Tess Gerritsen is the tenth instalment in the acclaimed Rizzoli & Isles crime thriller series, known for its gripping plots, chilling twists, and complex characters. Blending police procedural with psychological suspense, this bestselling novel follows detective Jane Rizzoli and medical examiner Maura Isles as they confront one of their most harrowing cases yet.
When fourteen-year-old Teddy Clock becomes the sole survivor of his foster family’s massacre — the second time in his young life he’s escaped mass murder — Jane Rizzoli is called in to protect him. What initially appears to be a tragic coincidence soon reveals itself as part of a far more sinister pattern. Jane takes Teddy to Evensong, an isolated boarding school in the Maine wilderness, designed as a sanctuary for young victims of violent crime. But even within its secure walls, darkness lurks. Disturbing discoveries — like bloodied dolls strung from trees — and unsettling connections between Teddy and other students make it clear that someone is still hunting them.
