THE SURGEON
Book ID/图书代码： 06830005B11263
English Summary/英文概要： 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.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在本醫學驚悚小說系列的第一本，暢銷作家Tess Gerritsen塑造了一個令人刻骨銘心的惡棍，還有那個唯一能阻止他惡行的女人。
他午夜溜進她的房間，悄無聲息地潛入女主人的房間，她還在熟睡，全然不知她所處的恐懼境況。殺手的手法精細、乾淨、不留絲毫蛛絲馬跡，以此來看，他對醫藥和手術很熟悉。媒體和公眾都為這個人震驚，被《波士頓報紙》命名為“外科醫生”。
員警的線索指向了另一個外科醫生Dr. Catherine Cordell，她兩年前就受過類似的攻擊。當時，她為了自衛殺死了攻擊者。現在，她的恐懼讓她不願與人過多親近，她裝得漠然、冰冷，成為了一個高雅冷酷的頂級外科醫生，她冷峻的外表和名聲遮掩著這段驚悚經歷。
當這個新殺手以恐怖的精確度重現Cordell的恐怖經歷時，Cordell再也藏不住了。他似乎是為她而來的，不斷用新的謀殺案件嘲笑她、慢慢靠近她，從醫院跟蹤到她家，只在等待最佳時機……
唯一能給她帶來寬慰的是負責這個案件的Thomas Moore，但Moore 也無法保護Cordell免受這個“傑出”殺手的攻擊，他能理解並享受著他刀下每個女人的恐懼。
這本由醫生轉為作家的Tess創作的驚悚小說，人物個性鮮明，場景多變，從急救室到員警探案小組，到城市的停屍間，作者的經驗讓這本驚悚小說有足夠的深度和懸疑氣氛，顯露了殺手和醫生、懲罰和保護之間的關係。(Celia）
