"Fri. Lily er endelig fri. Hun var seksten da hun ble kidnappet. I åtte år har hun levd innestengt. I fangenskap har hun født en liten datter som heter Sky. Men en kald vinterdag står døren ulåst. Kidnapperen hennes har gjort en grov feil, og nå har de greid å flykte. Alle trodde at hun var borte for alltid. Moren, tvillingsøsteren, hennes nærmeste. Alle blir sjokkerte og overlykkelige når hun kommer tilbake. Men det største sjokket kommer når de får vite hvem som har holdt henne fanget i alle disse årene.

Tess Gerritsen har skrevet en spenningsroman om handelen med kvinner på tvers av grenser, såkalt trafficking. En navnløs, vakker kvinne er tilsynelatende nok et lik på likhuset. Det ser ut som et selvmord, og liket venter bare på skalpellen til patologen Maura Isles. Men da Maura åpner likposen og ser på kroppen, får hun sitt livs sjokk. Liket åpner øynene! Kvinnen, som i høyeste grad er i live, blir kjørt til sykehuset. Men med en sjokkerende kalkulert presisjon myrder hun en sikkerhetsvakt og tar gisler. Hvem er denne voldelige desperate kvinnen, og hva er det hun vil? En av gislene er den gravide pasienten Jane Rizzoli - som også er politietterforsker. Mens klokken tikker, allierer patologen Maura seg med Janes mann, FBI agent Gabriel Dean. Sammen bestemmer de seg for å forsøke å spore den mystiske morderens identitet. Da føderale agenter plutselig dukker opp, skjønner både Maura og Gabriel at de er innblandet i en sak som går langt dypere enn en vanlig gisselsituasjon. Bare Jane, som holdes gissel av den bevæpnede kvinnen, har nøkkelen til mysteriet. Bare hun kan løse det - hvis hun overlever natten.

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. From the Hardcover edition.

Then another body is found, mutilated beyond recognition. Together, Isles and homicide detective Jane Rizzoli uncover an ancient horror that connects these terrible slaughters. As long-buried secrets come to light, Maura Isles finds herself drawn inexorably toward the heart of an investigation that strikes close to home and toward a dawning revelation about the killer s identity too shattering to consider."

Unknown bones, untold secrets, and unsolved crimes from the distant past cast ominous shadows on the present in the dazzling new thriller from New York Times bestselling author Tess Gerritsen. Present day: Julia Hamill has made a horrifying discovery on the grounds of her new home in rural Massachusetts: a skull buried in the rocky soil–human, female, and, according to the trained eye of Boston medical examiner Maura Isles, scarred with the unmistakable marks of murder. But whoever this nameless woman was, and whatever befell her, is knowledge lost to another time. . . . Boston, 1830: In order to pay for his education, Norris Marshall, a talented but penniless student at Boston Medical College, has joined the ranks of local “resurrectionists”–those who plunder graveyards and harvest the dead for sale on the black market. Yet even this ghoulish commerce pales beside the shocking murder of a nurse found mutilated on the university hospital grounds. And when a distinguished doctor meets the same grisly fate, Norris finds that trafficking in the illicit cadaver trade has made him a prime suspect. To prove his innocence, Norris must track down the only witness to have glimpsed the killer: Rose Connolly, a beautiful seamstress from the Boston slums who fears she may be the next victim. Joined by a sardonic, keenly intelligent young man named Oliver Wendell Holmes, Norris and Rose comb the city–from its grim cemeteries and autopsy suites to its glittering mansions and centers of Brahmin power–on the trail of a maniacal fiend who lurks where least expected . . . and who waits for his next lethal opportunity. With unflagging suspense and pitch-perfect period detail, The Bone Garden deftly interweaves the thrilling narratives of its nineteenth- and twenty-first century protagonists, tracing the dark mystery at its heart across time and place to a finale as ingeniously conceived as it is shocking. Bold, bloody, and brilliant, this is Tess Gerritsen’s finest achievement to date.
