The Surgeon

fullDescription

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.
He slips into their homes at night and walks silently into bedrooms where women lie sleeping, unaware of the horrors they soon will endure. 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."
The cops' only clue rests with another surgeon, the victim of a nearly identical crime. Two years ago, Dr. Catherine Cordell fought back and killed her attacker before he could complete his assault. Now she hides her fears of intimacy behind a cool and elegant exterior and a well-earned reputation as a top trauma surgeon.
Cordell's careful facade is about to crack as this new killer recreates, with chilling accuracy, the details of Cordell's own ordeal. With every new murder he seems to be taunting her, cutting ever closer, from her hospital to her home. Her only comfort comes from Thomas Moore, the detective assigned to the case. But even Moore cannot protect Cordell from a brilliant hunter who somehow understands—and savors—the secret fears of every woman he kills.
Filled with the authentic detail that is the trademark of this doctor turned author . . . and peopled with rich and complex characters—from the ER to the squad room to the city morgue—here is a thriller of unprecedented depth and suspense. Exposing the shocking link between those who kill and cure, punish and protect, The Surgeon is Tess Gerritsen's most exciting accomplishment yet.

1. • premium: True
   • source:
   • content: Christine Louise Marshall reads this hold-your-breath medical thriller that is not for the light of heart. Dr. Catherine Cordell works a hard and joyless life as an emergency room trauma physician in order to blot out the horror of the serial rapist-murderer she killed in self-defense two years earlier in Georgia. Now a new evil has appeared in Boston, performing atrocities that could only be known by Cordell's dead assailant. In the sections told from the killer's perspective, Christine Marshall is not as effective or believable as she is in the third-person narrative. Throughout the rest of the book, however, Marshall's piercing and powerful reading gives the listener an unforgettable roller-coaster ride. S.E.S. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine

     July 2, 2001
     A creepy cerebral serial killer vaguely reminiscent of Hannibal Lecter pursues a charismatic female doctor in this thoroughly satisfying if somewhat derivative thriller. Skillfully drawn surgical backdrops sizzling with ER
     intensity balance out the obligatory romantic intrigue and familiar plucky police professionals, attesting to Gerritsen's authentic medical expertise as a former physician. Dr. Catherine Cordell, the main character in this chilling tale, thought she had shot and killed her rapist and would-be murderer two years earlier in steamy Savannah, where he was a surgery intern at her hospital. Now, in Boston, as another hot summer begins, he appears to have miraculously returned and embarked once again on his grisly mission: he rapes women, then surgically removes their wombs. As two intrepid detectives—Thomas Moore and Jane Rizzoli—investigate, Cordell begins to doubt her own memories (or lack of) and discovers that not even her OR is safe. Gliding as smoothly as a scalpel in a confident surgeon's hand, this tale proves that Gerritsen (Harvest; Life Support; Bloodstream; Gravity), originally a romance writer, has morphed into a dependable suspense novelist whose growing popularity is keeping pace with her ever-finer writing skills. (Sept.)Forecast:National print advertising in
     People, the
     New York Times and
     USA Today, plus a major promotion campaign, will ratchet Gerritsen's sales up yet another notch.

   • content: By keeping her past secret, and her emotions at a distance, and focusing on her work, surgeon Catherine Cordell has recovered from an ordeal in which she was almost murdered by one of her medical residents. When victims killed through almost identical means appear (and Catherine receives emails from the apparent killer), the investigation takes over her life--even though she killed her attacker. Gerritsen's latest medical thriller, though sometimes a bit gory due to medical details, is truly a nail-biter, creating almost unbearable suspense. Dennis Boutsikaris narrates with strength and clarity, and enhances the tension through precise emotional shading. His subtle vocal characterizations produce stomach-clenching suspense and a satisfying five hours. M.A.M. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine
