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 the killer’s methods suggests that he is a deranged man of medicine, propelling the Boston newspapers to dub him “The Surgeon.” The cops’ only clue rests with the victim of a nearly identical crime: Two years ago, Dr. Catherine Cordell fought back and killed an attacker before he could complete his assault. Now this new killer is re-creating, 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. . . .

  • 1.99!

    I only paid 1.99 for this book, so needles to say; I was not expecting much. Thankfully, I was pleasently surprised. A nice and easy summer read.

  • I'm not sure I would rate this 4 stars

    But it was certainly a good book. I have been so busy that I hadn't really picked it up since I started it. I am looking forward to reading other books by her.
