Our view
“The Keepsake” is a dark Rizzoli & Isles thriller built on a genuinely macabre premise. In a Boston museum basement, a mummy taken for an ancient artefact proves to be a modern murder victim, and when two more women’s remains surface, Maura Isles and Jane Rizzoli know a killer is at large. As the seventh book in the series, it gives most to readers who already know the pair.

About the book
Jane Rizzoli and Maura Isles—the inspiration for the hit TNT series—continue their bestselling crime-solving streak. For untold years, the perfectly preserved mummy had lain forgotten in the dusty basement of Boston’s Crispin Museum. Dubbed “Madam X,” the recently rediscovered mummy is, to all appearances, an ancient Egyptian artifact. But medical examiner Maura Isles discovers a macabre message hidden within the corpse–horrifying proof that this “centuries-old” relic is instead a modern-day murder victim. When the grisly remains of two other women are found, it becomes clear to Maura and Boston homicide detective Jane Rizzoli that a maniac is at large. Now Maura and Jane must unravel a murderer’s twisted endgame before the Archaeology Killer adds another chilling artifact to his monstrous collection. This ebook edition contains a special preview of Tess Gerritsen’s I Know a Secret.
