The SURGEON
By Tess Gerritsen
Synopsis
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 doctor with a mysterious past. Two years ago she was subjected to a horrifying rape and shot her attacker dead.
Now the man she believes she killed seems to be stalking her once again, and this time he knows exactly where to find her…
Richard says
Tess Gerritsen is a retired surgeon who discovered writing books was more gratifying and satisfying than her medical profession. Fortunately, she proved to be an excellent writer able to earn a good living doing something she enjoyed more than her previous line of work.
The Surgeon reinforces Gerritzen as a successful writer who writes excellent thrillers. This work is at the top of her “best list” as it offers readers everthing they may want from a good thriller: tension, suspense, excitement, engagement, well-developed plot, engaging characters and above all, the irresistible urge to turn the page, over and over.
An excellent book, written well and definitely a good book for passing away time in an entertaining way.
