Book description
In Boston, there's a killer on the loose. A killer who targets lone
women, who breaks into their apartments and performs terrifying
ritualistic acts of torture on them before finishing them off. His
surgical skills lead police to suspect he is a physician - a physician
who, instead of saving lives, takes them.
But as homicide detective Thomas Moore and his partner Jane Rizzoli
begin their investigation, they make a startling discovery. Closely
linked to these killings is Catherine Cordell, a beautiful medic with
a mysterious past. Two years ago she was subjected to a horrifying
rape and attempted murder but she shot her attacker dead. Now she is
being targeted by the new killer who seems to know all about her past,
her work, and where she lives.
The man she believes she killed seems to be stalking her once again,
and this time he knows exactly where to find her...
Bestselling author Tess Gerritsen is also a physician, and she
brings to her novels her first-hand knowledge of emergency and autopsy
rooms. But her interests span far more than medical topics. As an
anthropology student at Stanford University, she catalogued
centuries-old human remains, and she continues to travel the world
driven by her fascination with ancient cultures and bizarre natural
phenomena. She lives with her husband in Maine.
