![]() ![]() I have always loved Jane Rizzoli, and motherhood takes away none of her feistiness. ![]() These seemingly unrelated plot lines gradually merge into one suspenseful and horrifying narrative about the abuse of power by influential, wealthy, and immoral individuals. A negotiator is brought in an attempt to bring the standoff to a peaceful conclusion. Next, a man and woman with a hidden agenda hold Jane Rizzoli hostage. Gerritsen then switches gears as a startled Maura Isles finds a corpse in her morgue who is still breathing. ![]() The book opens as a seventeen-year-old girl named Mila, from Belarus, tells the heartbreaking tale of how she and other like her were lured into the United States under false pretenses. Vanish features some familiar faces, including Boston Detective Jane Rizzoli, who is nine months pregnant, Gabriel Dean, Jane's devoted FBI agent husband, and medical examiner Dr. ![]() These girls are beaten, drugged, imprisoned, and sold into prostitution. Both books deal with the loathsome practice of importing vulnerable young girls into the United States from countries such as Mexico and the former Soviet Union. Tess Gerrtisen's Vanish has the same general theme as another engrossing novel that I read a few weeks ago- Dead End by Mariah Stewart.
