Description

Not really the icy temperatures of the New England winter can match the bone-chilling scene of carnage discovered in the church of Our Lady of Divine Light. Inside the cloistered convent rest two nuns–one dead, one really injured–victims of an unspeakably savage attacker. The brutal crime seems to be without purpose, but medical examiner Maura Isles’s autopsy of the dead woman yields a shocking surprise: Twenty-year-old Cousin Camille gave birth before she was killed. Then another body is located, mutilated beyond recognition.
