NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * "A briskly paced, terrifically suspenseful work that steadily builds toward a tense and terrifying climax."--People (Page-turner of the week) He slips into homes at night and walks silently into bedrooms where women lie sleeping, about to awaken to a living nightmare. The precision of his methods suggests that he is a deranged man of medicine, prompting the Boston newspapers to dub him "The Surgeon." Led by Detectives Thomas Moore and Jane Rizzoli, the cops must consult the victim of a nearly identical crime: Two years ago, Dr. Catherine Cordell fought back and filled an attacker before he could complete his assault. Now this new killer is re-creating, with chilling accuracy, the details of Cordell's ordeal. With every new murder he seems to be taunting her, cutting ever closer, from her hospital to her home. And neither Moore nor Rizzoli can protect Cordell from a ruthless hunter who somehow understands--and savors--the secret fears of every woman he kills. "[A] top-grade thriller . . . Sharp characters stitch your eye to the page. An all-nighter."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Creepy . . . will exert a powerful grip on readers."--Chicago Tribune… (plus d'informations)
Very good but gory (as is usual from Gerritsen) story about a serial killer pursuing a doctor who had been raped and almost killed several years ago by a similar killer.
This was SUCH a good read! The episodes of violence and/or sexual content were brief and pertinent to the story (although "brief" and "pertinent" are pretty subjective, so others may disagree). This is the kind of book that found me totally absorbed with the characters and the action; saying things like, "No! Don't go there!!" and "C'mon! You know better than that!" I'm hoping that I'm not the only one who "converses" with the characters in a book. I experienced all of the ups and downs of the investigation right along with Jane Rizzoli. I'm now reading the next in the series, "The Apprentice" and it is just as compelling. I plan to read the whole series. NOTE: If you watch the TV series, you will see that there are some differences, such as the physical description of Rizzoli and of Isles, as well as some differences in other characters. I just don't find this distracting. ( )
I enjoy the Rizzoli and Isles TV show, so I picked up this book thinking it would have a similar feel to the showI’ve been watching. It didn’t. Not at all! Rizzoli and Isles (the show) is light and a little fluffy… I call each episode a mini forensic chick flick, and I suppose I was expecting forensic chick lit from the novel. Instead I got a serious, intense crime thriller. Which was fabulous, but not at all what I expected. I was also very surprised to see there was no mention of Dr. Isles at all. She wasn’t a character in this novel, and for a series called “Rizzoli and Isles”, it really surprised me that she doesn’t even warrant a mention. Those are minor quibbles, though. I really enjoyed Gerritsen’s writing style, and the book hooked me from the beginning and kept me engaged until the last page. I’ll definitely be reading the next in this series. ( )
The story begins with the successful trauma surgeon, Catherine Cordell, who was attacked and almost killed in Savannah, Georgia, two years ago. She killed the perpetrator before he killed her. Things are not right in her office--her stethoscope is not where she left it several times. Jane Rizzoli and Thomas Moore are on a five-member team of detectives investigating the tortures and murders of 3 women in Boston. The Surgeon duct tapes their hands and feet to their bed, removes their uterus, and then eventually kills them by slitting their throat. They have a hard time figuring out who the serial killer is and why he is doing this--closely repeating the murders of 4 women in Atlanta and Savannah, Georgia, until Catherine agrees to undergo hypnosis to see if she can provide any additional clues.

Rape is a subject too intimate, too shameful, to talk about. Even with someone who cares about you.
