當波士頓兇殺組警探珍.瑞卓利和法醫莫拉.艾爾思被要求趕到一個犯罪現場時,她們發現這樁兇案有著最兇猛野獸的典型特徵,甚至包括屍體上的爪痕。死者是知名獵人兼標本剝製師里昂.勾特,家中牆上掛著許多獸頭標本。但只有最邪惡的人類雙手,才可能把他的屍體佈置得像是一頭獵獲物的模樣。勾特是否不智地喚醒了一個掠食者,而且比他所曾獵殺過的那些動物都更危險?
莫拉擔心這不是兇手第一次屠殺,也不會是最後一次。她將這宗命案與全國一連串在野外所發生的兇殺懸案連接起來之後,懷疑答案可能就在非洲的一個遙遠角落。
六年前,一群參加狩獵旅行的遊客淪為同行一名殺手的獵物。他們深入波札那荒野,無法與外界聯繫,唯一的保護就是一名帶著步槍的嚮導。這群驚恐的遊客渴望能獲救,免得他們最糟糕的本能──或是那些在陰影中伺機下手的野生動物──會殺了他們。但最致命的掠食者已經在他們身邊,一個星期後,這名掠食者離開荒野時,已經獵殺了同行幾乎所有人,只有一個除外。
現在這名兇手選擇波士頓當作他的新獵場,而瑞卓利和艾爾思必須找個辦法誘他離開陰影,進入牢籠。即使這表示要拿出那位獵人無法抗拒的誘餌:唯一逃離的被害人。

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Detective Jane Rizzoli and medical examiner Maura Isles are back--and they're going into the wild to find a killer. Die Again is the latest heart-pounding thriller in Tess Gerritsen'sbestselling series, the inspiration behind TNT's hit show Rizzoli & Isles.
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.
Advance praise for Die Again
"With Die Again, Tess Gerritsen proves that she is still at the top of her game. I love this fantastically gripping story and can't wait for more."--Karin Slaughter
"Tess Gerritsen always delivers, and this is Gerritsen at her dark, addictive best. What gives Die Again its peculiar charge is the idea, never far from the surface, that we humans are predatory animals like any other. Perhaps we should not be so surprised to find hunters among us."--William Landay
"Animal instinct turns savage--and man is an animal. A Rizzoli and Isles thriller is a guaranteed great read, but this time out Gerritsen really brings on the scary "--Sandra Brown
"Tess Gerritsen once again proves her masterful dominance in stories delving into the criminal mind and forensic sciences. Die Again left me breathless as Rizzoli and Isles investigate a horrific murder, one with ties to an unsolved massacre in years past. Here is a story both harrowing and as intellectually sharp as a dagger's edge. I dare you to try to stop reading this once you've started."--James Rollins
"Harrowing Seamlessly melding the gritty streets of Boston with the golden plains of Africa, Tess Gerritsen sets up a cunning predator who's spent years perfecting his game. Now enter Rizzoli and Isles, two of Boston's best determined to catch one of the world's worst in a battle of wits where only the strong can survive. This is Tess Gerritsen at her finest "--Lisa Gardner
