The Apprentice: A Rizzoli & Isles Novel

Jane Rizzoli and Maura Islesùthe inspiration for the hit TNT seriesùcontinue their crime-solving streak. The bestselling author of The Surgeon returnsùand so does that chilling novelÆs diabolical villain. Though held behind bars, Warren Hoyt still haunts a helpless city, seeming to bequeath his evil legacy to a student all-too-diligent . . . and all-too-deadly. It is a boiling hot Boston summer. Adding to the cityÆs woes is a series of shocking crimes, in which wealthy men are made to watch while their wives are brutalized. A sadistic demand that ends in abduction and death. The pattern suggests one man: serial killer Warren Hoyt, recently removed from the cityÆs streets. Police can only assume an acolyte is at large, a maniac basing his attacks on the twisted medical techniques of the madman he so admires. At least thatÆs what Detective Jane Rizzoli thinks. Forced again to confront the killer who scarred herùliterally and figurativelyùshe is determined to finally end HoytÆs awful influence . . . even if it means receiving more resistance from her all-male homicide squad. But Rizzoli isnÆt counting on the U.S. governmentÆs sudden interest. Or on meeting Special Agent Gabriel Dean, who knows more than he will tell. Most of all, she isnÆt counting on becoming a target herself, once Hoyt is suddenly free, joining his mysterious blood brother in a vicious vendetta. . . . Filled with superbly created charactersùand the medical and police procedural details that are her trademarkùThe Apprentice is Tess Gerritsen at her brilliant best. Set in a stunning world where evil is easy to learn and hard to end, this is a thriller by a master who could teach other authors a thing or two.
