The Surgeon - Tess Gerritsen

Product Description(Amazon.com)
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.

MY THOUGHTS:  For once i got the first book of the series.  I love the t.v. show Rizzoli & Isles!  I also liked the book.  Now I've got another series to add to my ever growing list.  This book deals with a man that takes a woman, binds her hand and foot with duct tape and surgically removes her uterus.  Then cuts her throat.  But his main goal is getting to Dr. Catherine Cordell.  The one that got away.  The author has taken you into his world, along with the world the Dr. Cordell lives in.  And of course the world of the police.  All three merge as one as they all come to the capture of "The Surgeon".  Really good book, loved it!
