Synopses

The Apprentice

A series of horrific murders feels disturbingly familiar to Detective Jane Rizzoli. The crimes remind her and Forensic Pathologist Maura Isles of those committed by a killer known as The Surgeon, who they recently put behind bars.

The Surgeon

A killer targets lone women, torturing and murdering them with precise methods that suggest medical training. Jane Rizzoli’s investigation leads to a discovery linked to an earlier assault in a similar style, in which the victim escaped by shooting her attacker dead.

The Sinner

Two nuns are brutally attacked inside their convent, with no clear motive. During the autopsy, Maura Isles uncovers something entirely unexpected.

Body Double

Maura Isles examines a victim who looks exactly like her. Jane Rizzoli is assigned to the case and follows the trail of a twisted killer across the country.

Vanish

Maura Isles opens a body bag to find the corpse’s eyes suddenly open. The woman is taken to hospital, where she murders a guard and seizes hostages, including a heavily pregnant Jane Rizzoli.

The Mephisto Club

At a shocking murder scene, words are scrawled in blood. The victim, a young woman, has been drained of blood and horrifically dismembered.
