First line in the book: Today I watched a man die.
Synopsis taken from the blurb:
I know I am not the only one of my kind who walks this earth. Somewhere, there is another. And he waits for me...
The Surgeon has been locked up for a year but his chilling legacy still haunts the city, and especially Boston homicide detective Jane Rizzoli. For now a new killer is at work and Rizzoli senses something horrifyingly familiar about this murderer's modus operandi. Grim coincidence? Or more terrifying still, could two monsters have somehow made contact?
It's when the FBI stats taking an interest in the investigation that Rizzoli begins to wonder just what makes this case so different, so dangerous that the Feds feel the need to get involved. But then the unthinkable happens: the Surgeon escapes. And suddenly there are two brilliant, twisted killers on the loose - master and apprentice, united in their hunt for the most challenging prey of all: the very woman who is hunting them...
Tess Gerritsen's Rizzoli and Isles television series (shown above) starring Angie Harmon and Sasha Alexander is the sole reason I am rereading The Apprentice, the second book in the Rizzoli and Isles series. (The reason I am starting with the second book is because I have not been able to get the first book from the library before they called me on the second).
In a nutshell, this novel is a page-turner gripper. Filled with authentic and highly detailed forensic lore, complex characters, ultra scare-and-gory factor and psychological suspense, this is a thriller that surpasses all I have read so far! I highly recommend it.
