The Surgeon Tess Gerritsen Ebook

The Surgeon Author(s): Tess Gerritsen Publisher: Ballantine Books Date: 2002 Format: pdf,rtf,epub,lit,lrf,mobi Language: English ISBN10: Pages: 368 I do feel it necessary to mention that the tale is not at all simply a grim tale of slaughter. It deals with some very serious issues. Gerritsen confronts the aftereffects of rape directly, and in very uncomfortable fashion. Those of us who have been taught to belittle or deny how devastating this kind of personal invasion really is may have a tough time dealing with these passages.

I found Gerritsen's frankness illuminating but unsettling, as I think most readers will. In retrospect I believe this may be the best suspense/serial killer novel of the 2001 crop. Although there have been some close competitors.

I do not normally follow medical suspense, so I don't know how well it compares in that genre. But I can't imagine it being far from the top on most reviewers lists.

“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.
