  <description><![CDATA[A blessed event becomes a nightmare for pregnant homicide detective Jane Rizzoli when she finds herself on the wrong side of a hostage crisis in this timely and relentless new thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of Body Double.<br/><br/>A nameless, beautiful woman appears to be just another corpse in the morgue. An apparent suicide, she lies on a gurney, awaiting the dissecting scalpel of medical examiner Maura Isles. But when Maura unzips the body bag and looks down at the body, she gets the fright of her life. The corpse opens its eyes.<br/><br/>Very much alive, the woman is rushed to the hospital, where with shockingly cool precision, she murders a security guard and seizes hostages . . . one of them a pregnant patient, Jane Rizzoli.<br/><br/>Who is this violent, desperate soul, and what does she want? As the tense hours tick by, Maura joins forces with Jane&#8217;s husband, FBI agent Gabriel Dean, to track down the mysterious killer&#8217;s identity. When federal agents suddenly appear on the scene, Maura and Gabriel realize that they are dealing with a case that goes far deeper than just an ordinary hostage crisis.<br/><br/>Only Jane, trapped with the armed madwoman, holds the key to the mystery. And only she can solve it&#8211;if she survives the night.<br/><br/><em>From the Hardcover edition.</em>]]></description>

    <body><![CDATA[Another good one from Tess Gerritsen,  A quick read that kept me interested.  I like the main characters and i think that is what keeps me coming back, with each book you see a little more of who they are and what they are thinking. <br/><br/>I like Jane, she is such a 'bish', but a likable 'bish'...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/45611790">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[A blessed event becomes a nightmare for pregnant homicide detective Jane Rizzoli when she finds herself on the wrong side of a hostage crisis in this timely and relentless new thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of Body Double.<br/><br/>A nameless, beautiful woman appears to be just another corpse in the morgue. An apparent suicide, she lies on a gurney, awaiting the dissecting scalpel of medical examiner Maura Isles. But when Maura unzips the body bag and looks down at the body, she gets the fright of her life. The corpse opens its eyes.<br/><br/>Very much alive, the woman is rushed to the hospital, where with shockingly cool precision, she murders a security guard and seizes hostages . . . one of them a pregnant patient, Jane Rizzoli.<br/><br/>Who is this violent, desperate soul, and what does she want? As the tense hours tick by, Maura joins forces with Jane&#8217;s husband, FBI agent Gabriel Dean, to track down the mysterious killer&#8217;s identity. When federal agents suddenly appear on the scene, Maura and Gabriel realize that they are dealing with a case that goes far deeper than just an ordinary hostage crisis.<br/><br/>Only Jane, trapped with the armed madwoman, holds the key to the mystery. And only she can solve it&#8211;if she survives the night.<br/><br/><em>From the Hardcover edition.</em>]]>

    <![CDATA[Ausschließlich Leichen sollen eigentlich im Kühlraum des gerichtsmedizinischen Instituts lagern. Doch Dr. Maura Isles hört aus einem der Fächer bei einem Routinegang Geräusche. Für sie und Detective Jane Rizzoli beginnt mit der Rettung einer jungen Frau in Tess Gerritsens Thriller <em>Scheintot</em> ein nicht enden wollender Albtraum.<br/><br/>Eine unbekannte Frau wird von Gerichtsmedizinerin Maura Isles noch lebend in einem Leichensack im Kühlraum ihres Instituts gefunden. Die Scheintote kann gerettet werden, flieht jedoch, kaum dass sie das Bewusstsein wiedererlangt hat. Kurze Zeit später bringt sie mit einem Komplizen in einem nahe gelegenen Krankenhaus mehrere Geiseln in ihre Gewalt. Der Zufall will es, dass sich unter den Betroffenen auch die hochschwangere Polizistin Jane Rizzoli befindet, die in Kürze ihr Kind zur Welt bringen will. Die Geiselnehmer haben offenbar eine Botschaft, die sie über Presse und Rundfunk äußern wollen. Doch bevor es dazu kommt, wird das Krankenhaus von der Polizei gestürmt, beide Geiselnehmer werden unter dubiosen Umständen erschossen. &#132;Mila weiß Bescheid&#147;, kann die junge Frau Rizzoli noch zuflüstern, bevor sie stirbt. Sofort nach ihrer Entbindung nimmt die Polizistin gemeinsam mit ihrem Mann Gabriel Dean vom FBI und ihrem Teampartner Barry Frost die Suche nach der geheimnisvollen Mila auf. Die Ermittler stoßen dabei auf auf ein unvorstellbares Verbrechen.<br/><br/>Bestsellerautorin Tess Gerritsen stellt nicht einen der bekannten Protagonisten in den Mittelpunkt ihres Thrillers, sondern macht die junge Mila und ihre Leidensgenossinnen zu den eigentlichen Helden. Sie erzählt mit großem Einfühlungsvermögen eine schockierende Geschichte von Menschenhandel und Zwangsprostitution. Von spannender großer Unterhaltung mag man bei einem solchen Thema kaum sprechen, dennoch weiß die hervorragende Autorin sehr einfühlsam mit einer fesselnden Geschichte auf ein schreckliches Schicksal hinzuweisen, beispielhaft für das Tausender junger Frauen überall auf der Welt. <em>--Ulrich Deurer</em>]]>

    <![CDATA[A blessed event becomes a nightmare for pregnant homicide detective Jane Rizzoli when she finds herself on the wrong side of a hostage crisis in this timely and relentless new thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of Body Double.<br/><br/>A nameless, beautiful woman appears to be just another corpse in the morgue. An apparent suicide, she lies on a gurney, awaiting the dissecting scalpel of medical examiner Maura Isles. But when Maura unzips the body bag and looks down at the body, she gets the fright of her life. The corpse opens its eyes.<br/><br/>Very much alive, the woman is rushed to the hospital, where with shockingly cool precision, she murders a security guard and seizes hostages . . . one of them a pregnant patient, Jane Rizzoli.<br/><br/>Who is this violent, desperate soul, and what does she want? As the tense hours tick by, Maura joins forces with Jane&#8217;s husband, FBI agent Gabriel Dean, to track down the mysterious killer&#8217;s identity. When federal agents suddenly appear on the scene, Maura and Gabriel realize that they are dealing with a case that goes far deeper than just an ordinary hostage crisis.<br/><br/>Only Jane, trapped with the armed madwoman, holds the key to the mystery. And only she can solve it&#8211;if she survives the night.<br/><br/><em>From the Hardcover edition.</em>]]>

    <![CDATA[A blessed event becomes a nightmare for pregnant homicide detective Jane Rizzoli when she finds herself on the wrong side of a hostage crisis in this timely and relentless new thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of Body Double.<br/><br/>A nameless, beautiful woman appears to be just another corpse in the morgue. An apparent suicide, she lies on a gurney, awaiting the dissecting scalpel of medical examiner Maura Isles. But when Maura unzips the body bag and looks down at the body, she gets the fright of her life. The corpse opens its eyes.<br/><br/>Very much alive, the woman is rushed to the hospital, where with shockingly cool precision, she murders a security guard and seizes hostages . . . one of them a pregnant patient, Jane Rizzoli.<br/><br/>Who is this violent, desperate soul, and what does she want? As the tense hours tick by, Maura joins forces with Jane&#8217;s husband, FBI agent Gabriel Dean, to track down the mysterious killer&#8217;s identity. When federal agents suddenly appear on the scene, Maura and Gabriel realize that they are dealing with a case that goes far deeper than just an ordinary hostage crisis.<br/><br/>Only Jane, trapped with the armed madwoman, holds the key to the mystery. And only she can solve it&#8211;if she survives the night.<br/><br/><em>From the Hardcover edition.</em>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[ It's been a long time since I've been as engrossed in a book like I was in this one.   I bought it because I needed something to read while I waited to get my hair cut.   I became so engrossed with it the next day that I was up until past 1 a.m. reading.
