What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
HE KNOWS EXACTLY WHERE IT HURTS...
‘This is crime-writing at its nerve-tingling best’
Harlan Coben
A killer is targeting lone women, torturing and murdering them. The precision of his methods leads Detective Jane Rizzoli to suspect he is medically trained.
Then Jane makes a terrifying discovery. Years ago a young woman was assaulted in a similar way. She escaped by shooting her attacker dead.
So why does it feel like he’s stalking her again?

Critics Review
-
‘Gerritsen uses prose like a scalpel to slice deep into your mind. Piling on shock after shock and twist upon twist, this is a book best read in one sitting and with the lights full on. A breathtaking and absorbing thriller.’
Good Book Guide
-
‘If you’re home alone, do not risk even the first sentence. Once you’ve started reading this book, putting it down and saving it till later is not an option.’
Mo Hayder
-
‘The Surgeon touches the dark places only a hunted woman can know…This is a story that terrifies and heartens all at once. What a ride!’
Iris Johansen
-
‘If you’re squeamish, this book is going to make you squirm…Gerritsen makes it chillingly feasible that the person you enjoy a chat with every day might just be planning the right time to cut your throat. An unpleasant thought, but a valid end result of a taut, well-paced and thoroughly realistic thriller.’
The List
-
‘If you’ve never read Gerritsen, figure in the price of electricity when you buy your first novel by her, ’cause, baby, you are going to be up all night’
Stephen King
