I enjoyed reading his one. I'm looking forward to more interaction between Rizzoli and Isles though.

Boston wordt geteisterd door een reeks schokkende misdaden die eindigen in ontvoering en dood. Het patroon suggereert dat er één man aan het werk is: seriemoordenaar Warren Hoyt, bijgenaamd 'De Chirurg', die echter onlangs achter de tralies is verdwenen. Rechercheur Jane Rizzoli vermoedt dat er een leerling van Hoyt rondwaart, die gebruik maakt van zijn gruwelijke methoden. Maar Jane houdt er geen rekening mee dat ze zelf wel eens het doelwit zou kunnen worden. Als Hoyt plotseling op vrije voeten komt, voegt hij zich bij zijn mysterieuze bloedbroeder in een nietsontziende vendetta....

The Surgeon returns for a second act!
Boston detective Jane Rizzoli has healed physically from the gruesome attack she suffered at the hands of Warren Hoyt, The Surgeon, but the psychological scab on the wound is still fresh. Faced with a copycat killer, who has been dubbed The Dominator, Rizzoli is forced to recognize the possibility that she's not capable of dealing with the psychiatric baggage of the last attack and that she's no longer objective in her search for the new killer. When Hoyt escapes custody, teams up with The Dominator and it becomes clear that Rizzoli is the next target, she has to deal with the most brutal realization of all ... that she is terrified for her life!
Gerritsen has done it again.
The Apprentice outdoes The Surgeon for thrills and chills, which is saying a mouthful! The science and the minutiae of the forensic investigation are exciting and informative. The repulsive creepy factor that Gerritsen squeezes out of a mental trip through the mind of serial killer Warren Hoyt is beyond chilling. The characters continue to be developed and Rizzoli's angst, far from becoming tiresome, is skillfully used as a tool to carve out the nature of her relationship with interfering FBI agent, Gabriel Dean.
And that ending ... a deep down gruesome shudder to die for! Brilliant!
Highly recommended.

Such a good book! I love how TG writes, she does it in an intelligent way, without bogging you down with too many facts.
