The Apprentice  by Tess Gerritsen

Gerritsen's follow-up to The Surgeon is a bit less focused than its predecessor. The Surgeon was a slam\bang, toe curling horror story about a man who preyed on emotionally damaged women.

Tucked securely into prison, the Surgeon still dreams of the one who got away. Meanwhile, a predator is stalking couples in upscale homes, but using the Surgeon's signature. Drawn into this case by its similarities of her investigation the summer before, Jane Rizzio, homicide detective, has further problems in the form of an FBI agent who mysteriously appears and questions her ability to handle the case.

But when The Surgeon escapes from prison and the murders escalate, it's clear that this isn't just your every day normal copycat killer. It's a team of two dangerous men -- and they're coming after Jane next.

The book is a sequel, so you really have to read Surgeon first for the story to make sense. However, the first book concentrated more on Moore and Cordell, whereas this book takes Rizzoli as the major character. The characters are good, the plot exciting and the book is in no way a let-down after the excellent The Surgeon.

A thrilling read.
