The Surgeon (Rizzoli & Isles, Bk 1)


He slips into their homes at night and walks silently into bedrooms where women lie sleeping, about to awake to a living nightmare. The precision of the killer's methods suggests he is a deranged man of medicine, propelling the Boston Newspapers to name him: "The Surgeon". The cops' only clue rests with the victim of a nearly identical crime. Two years ago Dr. Catherine Cordell fought back and killed her attacker before he could complete his assault. Now, this killer is re-creating, with chilling accuracy, the details of Cordell's own ordeal. With every new murder he seems to be taunting her, cutting ever closer, from her hospital to her home. Her only comfort comes from the Detective assigned to the case but even he can't protect her from a brilliant hunter who somehow understands .....and savors......the secret fears of every woman he kills..... This story will grip you and terrify you until the very end. A tense and terrifying climax of suspense!
