Vanish

In this contemporary and unrelenting thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of Body Double, pregnant homicide investigator Jane Rizzoli's fortunate event turns into a nightmare when she finds herself on the wrong side of a hostage situation.

Beautiful but nameless lady at the morgue, just another body. She seems to have committed herself and is waiting for medical examiner Maura Isles to cut her body up with a knife. However, Maura gets the worst feeling in the world as she opens the body bag and stares down at the corpse. The cadaver's eyes open.

Remarkably alive, the lady is brought to the hospital, where she kills a security officer and takes hostages, including Jane Rizzoli, a pregnant patient, with startlingly cold precision.

Who is this angry, irrational spirit, and what is her goal? As the anxious hours pass, Maura teams up with FBI agent Gabriel Dean, Jane's husband, to find the identity of the unidentified murderer. Maura and Gabriel become aware that they are dealing with more than just a typical hostage situation when they see federal officials show up out of nowhere.

The key to solving the riddle lies with Jane, who is confined with the armed madwoman. If she survives the night, only she will be able to solve it. taken from the hardback copy.
