What this book is about
A Jane Doe brought to the ME's office is not dead — she wakes up and takes hospital staff hostage, including a very pregnant Maura Isles. Rizzoli investigates from outside while Maura negotiates from within. The case connects to a network of missing women. Vanish is the fifth Rizzoli & Isles novel — the hostage situation in the hospital is the series' most intense set piece.
