Publisher Description

Jane Rizzoli and Maura Isles—the inspiration for the hit TNT series—continue their crime-solving streak.  The bestselling author of The Surgeon returns—and so does that chilling novel’s 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 city’s 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 city’s 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 that’s what Detective Jane Rizzoli thinks. Forced again to confront the killer who scarred her—literally and figuratively—she is determined to finally end Hoyt’s awful influence . . . even if it means receiving more resistance from her all-male homicide squad. But Rizzoli isn’t counting on the U.S. government’s sudden interest. Or on meeting Special Agent Gabriel Dean, who knows more than he will tell. Most of all, she isn’t counting on becoming a target herself, once Hoyt is suddenly free, joining his mysterious blood brother in a vicious vendetta. . . . Filled with superbly created characters—and the medical and police procedural details that are her trademark—The 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.

"Is he an ape, or a totally different psychopat which attacks to raped women? He knows what they fear, and their weaknesses and yet he is coming for Jane Rizzoli. Will she survive through the Apprentice or will she find herself tied up in a bed looking at him in the eye."

    " Very suspenseful, but too much gore for me. I'm not trying to stick my head in the sand or be naive, but this novel seemed to be violent simply to shock rather than for some plot or character purpose. I might try one more Tess Gerritsen novel, but if they are all this graphic, I'll take a miss. "

    " This is the first one of this series that I have read. I watch the TV show and of course it is a lot different. This was pretty gruesome and I know that we will see the return of the "bad guy" in another book. "

    " This was a very intense book. I'm not sure I can read another, but I think I may give it one more go. It's very well written, but a bit too graphic in the description of the murders for me. I personally find this disturbing and that is what is putting me off, right now. "

    " A great follow-up to the first book. Intense and suspenseful, although I did kind of see the end coming. This story was heavily Rizzoli based, but we do finally get introduced to Isles. Hopefully that dynamic builds in the rest of the books. "
