Keeping the Dead by Tess Gerritsen

A modern murder hidden inside an ancient mystery

Good Condition – noticeable cover creasing and edge wear.

When forensic pathologist Maura Isles is invited to examine an ancient mummy discovered in a museum basement, a CT scan reveals something impossible: a modern bullet lodged inside the body. Detective Jane Rizzoli joins the investigation, only for a second preserved corpse and then a third to emerge. The evidence points not to archaeology but to a meticulous killer who transforms victims into macabre relics. As Rizzoli and Isles follow a trail of concealed identities and carefully staged remains, they must uncover the murderer's purpose before another victim is selected. This gripping thriller turns a remarkable museum discovery into a race against a living predator.
