"Richly suspenseful and provocative, Gerritsen’s latest leaves the reader breathless."

--The Pbiladelphia Inquirer

"Not too often does one find a book that can’t be put down until the last page is reached. Body Double is one of those, and Tess Gerritsen doesn’t pull any punches when she dishes out her gruesome tale of murder and family secrets."

--NoHo>LA

Boston medical examiner Dr. Maura Isles is shocked to discover that the murdered woman looks exactly like her. For Maura, an only child, a DNA test confirms the startling fact: the mysterious doppelganger is in fact her twin sister. Now an already bizarre homicide investigation becomes a disturbing excursion into a past full of dark secrets and twisted truths. It is a journey that leads Maura to the mother she never knew--an icy and cunning woman who gave Maura life.., and who just might have a plan to take it away.
