Survive to Die is the tenth book in Tess Gerritsen's series of novels about police officers and doctors fighting killers. Teddy Klock survived a mass murder for the second time. Two years ago he barely survived, and his entire family died. This time, the fourteen-year-old boy managed to escape death during the murder of his adoptive family. The case is assigned to Boston police detective Jane Rizzoli. She hides Teddy in the unique Vechernya boarding school, a real refuge for children victims of violent crimes, where they are taught how to survive in our cruel world. But she has fears that even behind the high fence in this seemingly safe school, something could threaten the boy. And when blood-spattered dolls are discovered on a tree in the local forest, Jane is convinced that her instinct has not deceived her... Together with her friend and colleague, pathologist Maura Isles, Rizzoli meets two other teenagers whose fates are eerily similar to Teddy's. Women are trying to protect their children, and they have to face a sophisticated and very smart killer.
