DIE AGAIN: A RIZZOLI AND ISLES NOVEL
Book ID/图书代码: 06830015B78267
English Summary/英文概要: When Boston homicide detective Jane Rizzoli and medical examiner Maura Isles are summoned to a crime scene, they find a killing worthy of the most ferocious beast—right down to the claw marks on the corpse. But only the most sinister human hands could have left renowned big-game hunter and taxidermist Leon Gott gruesomely displayed like the once-proud animals whose heads adorn his walls. Did Gott unwittingly awaken a predator more dangerous than any he’s ever hunted?
Maura fears that this isn’t the killer’s first slaughter, and that it won’t be the last. After linking the crime to a series of unsolved homicides in wilderness areas across the country, she wonders if the answers might actually be found in a remote corner of Africa.
Six years earlier, a group of tourists on safari fell prey to a killer in their midst. Marooned deep in the bush of Botswana, with no means of communication and nothing but a rifle-toting guide for protection, the terrified tourists desperately hoped for rescue before their worst instincts—or the wild animals prowling in the shadows—could tear them apart. But the deadliest predator was already among them, and within a week, he walked away with the blood of all but one of them on his hands.
Now this killer has chosen Boston as his new hunting ground, and Rizzoli and Isles must find a way to lure him out of the shadows and into a cage. Even if it means dangling the bait no hunter can resist: the one victim who got away.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 当波士顿凶杀组警探简瑞佐莉和法医莫拉艾尔思受命赶到一起犯罪现场调查时,她们发现这桩凶案有着最凶猛野兽的典型特征,甚至包括尸体上的爪痕。死者是知名猎人兼标本剥制师利昂戈特,家中墙上挂着许多兽头标本。但只有最邪恶的人类双手,才可能把他的尸体布置得象是一头猎获物的模样。戈特是否不智地唤醒了一个掠食者,而且比他所曾猎杀过的那些动物都更危险?
莫拉担心这不是凶手第一次屠杀,也不会是最后一次。她将这宗命案与全国一连串在野外所发生的凶杀悬案连接起来之后,怀疑答案可能就在非洲的一个遥远角落。
六年前,一群参加狩猎旅行的游客沦为同行一名杀手的猎物。他们深入波札那荒野,无法与外界联系,唯一的保护就是一名带着步枪的向导。这群惊恐的游客渴望能获救,免得他们最糟糕的本能──或是那些在阴影中伺机下手的野生动物──会杀了他们。但最致命的掠食者已经在他们身边,一个星期后,这名掠食者离开荒野时,已经猎杀了同行几乎所有人,只有一个除外。
现在这名凶手选择波士顿当作他的新猎场,而瑞佐莉和艾尔思必须找个办法诱他离开阴影,进入牢笼。即使这表示要拿出那位猎人无法抗拒的诱饵:唯一逃离的被害人。

About the Author/作者介绍: Bestselling author Tess Gerritsen is also a physician, and she brings to her novels her first-hand knowledge of emergency and autopsy rooms. But her interests span far more than medical topics. As an anthropology student at Stanford University, she catalogued centuries-old human remains, and she continues to travel the world driven by her fascination with ancient cultures and bizarre natural phenomena. She started off her writing career with romance novels, now published by Mira. But in 1996 she switched to writing thrillers with her novel HARVEST, inspired by the anger she felt about the illegal trade in human organs. It was her first New York Times bestseller. Since then she has become an internationally bestselling author of crime novels, and her thriller series starring Boston detective Jane Rizzoli and medical examiner Maura Isles is the basis for the hit television series "Rizzoli & isles." She lives with her husband in Maine. For more information on Tess Gerritsen and her novels, visit her website: www.tessgerritsen.co.uk.
