Vanish by Tess Gerritsen


The fifth book in Gerritsen's series touches on a very sensitive and hushed topic, trafficking of women and sexual slavery. Sadly enough, the US government officials take part in the acts against foreign women, lead to believe they were coming to the country for a better life. The novel goes back in forth between the past and present to tell the story of these women. At the very beginning of the book a corpse in Maura's morgue is actually alive! I think that is one of those things that would shock anyone, and everyones worst nightmare come true. After taking this woman to the hospital, she actually takes several people hostage, including Jane who is about to give birth to her first baby. There ensues a situation that is caused by government conspiracies that just couldn't possibly be true. Or can they? Jane, and baby Regina, barely escape their brutal murders, yet again. Rizzoli can't seem to catch a break with the murderers she tangos with... we will see what she gets herself into next!
