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 killed 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.

This book is too gory even for Tess & even for me - both physicians. The concept is horrifying.
I can't recommend it.

A tight, scaary thrillere
In this well-written journey into the minds of those who would inflict incredible pain upon randomly-chosen victims and those who are charged with stopping them, Dr. Gerritsen introduces some characters we will be happy to follow and others who might give us nightmares. If you like the genre, this is one of the betteer ones.

Excellent
Since The Surgeon, I have read three more of Tess Gerritsens' books and ordered two more. She is wonderful. You feel like you are there.

The Surgeon
Excellent! Hard to close the book once the reading begins. Followed the TV show with a slight twist at the end. Can't wait to read the other books in the series.
