The Apprentice - Hardcover

Those who have read The Surgeon will know that Gerritsen leaves you feeling you can't turn out the light! Indeed, this novel opens with Warren Hoyt, who caused such mayhem in that novel, in the exercise yard and once more with blood on his hands. His pursuer, homicide detective Jane Rizzoli, is on the trail of another killer - one who's taken a leaf from Hoyt's book. The case is complicated enough but then Hoyt escapes, leaving the Boston PD to track down two brilliantly evil blood brothers. A former medic who began writing romantic suspense while on maternity leave, Gerritsen's is a name to watch if you like to be seriously spooked.

Serial killer Warren Hoyt was captured a year ago but his crimes still haunt Boston homicide detective Jane Rizzoli. Now she faces a new killer, a hunter who preys on rich couples and copies an obscure element of Hoyt's crimes. And when Hoyt escapes from custody there are two hunters on the loose.
