Internationally bestselling author Tess Gerritsen took an unusual route to a writing career. But even Moore cannot protect Cordell from a brilliant hunter who somehow understands-and savors-the secret fears of every woman he kills. Her only comfort comes from Thomas Moore, the detective assigned to the case. With every new murder he seems to be taunting her, cutting ever closer, from her hospital to her home. Now she hides her fears of intimacy behind a cool and elegant exterior and a well-earned reputation as a top trauma surgeon.Ĭordell's careful facade is about to crack as this new killer recreates, with chilling accuracy, the details of Cordell's own ordeal. Catherine Cordell fought back and killed her attacker before he could complete his assault. The cops' only clue rests with another surgeon, the victim of a nearly identical crime. The precision of the killer's methods suggests he is a deranged man of medicine, propelling the Boston newspapers and the frightened public to name him "The Surgeon." He slips into their homes at night and walks silently into bedrooms where women lie sleeping, unaware of the horrors they soon will endure. In her most masterful novel of medical suspense, New York Times bestselling author Tess Gerritsen creates a villain of unforgettable evil-and the one woman who can catch him before he kills again.
