Die Again is the latest Rizzoli and Isles book by Tess Gerritsen. For those not familiar with the series, Jane Rizzoli is a detective with the Boston PD and Dr. Maura Isles is the medical examiner. One of the best things about this series is the chemistry between the two coworkers and friends.
It started with Quincy, M.E. (1976-1983). The medical examiner (aka forensic pathologist) came out of expository cameos and into a starring role. With Jack Klugman as the lead, Quincy started as part of the classic NBC Sunday Mystery Movie wheel, rotating with Columbo, McCloud and McMillan & Wife. By mid-season it was clear the show was a hit and became a weekly series.
In The Last To Die, the tenth book in the series, Jane and Maura are called to the scene of the brutal massacre of a family. The only survivor is the family's foster child, Teddy Clock. It seems more than a coincidence that his family was murdered as well. After another attack, Jane fears that someone is out to kill Teddy.
Fans of Rizzoli & Isles came from all over the world to celebrate the first ever RizzlesCon held in Anaheim July 20th-22. From Australia, the Netherlands, Italy, Iceland, North Carolina and Sunnyvale, mostly women but more than a few men, found themselves in the midst of murder not far from the happiest place on earth.
