About The Sinner
An attack inside a Boston convent leaves one nun dead and another critically injured. During the autopsy, medical examiner Maura Isles discovers that the murdered novice had previously given birth, raising questions no one at the convent can answer. When another mutilated body is found, Maura and Detective Jane Rizzoli uncover a connection between the killings and long-buried secrets that make the case increasingly personal.
