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.

The Apprentice Listener Reviews
-
" I enjoyed it. A little graphic but finished it & on to the 3rd one. "
— Judy, 2/17/2014 -
" 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. "
— Kylie, 2/12/2014 -
" Great characters start to develop from this series. If you like Bones, this might be a series for you. "
— Karenzielinski, 2/6/2014 -
" Great suspense! It makes me want to read the whole series of mysteries. "
— Carol, 1/27/2014 -

" 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. "
— Jan, 12/31/2013 -
" I'm enjoying this series. Definitely light suspenseful reading. I like the television show based on the book series. "
— Janel, 12/30/2013 -
" The first 50 pages were too gory for me so I simply skimmed through them, but once I got into the novel I really enjoyed it. A great thriller! "
— Lorraine, 12/12/2013 -
" Mesmerizing. I had to take a few breaks from reading such intensity. Tess Gerritsen is a very talented writer but I need to space her books. "
— Joy, 11/28/2013 -
" Great Book loved it! ON to the next one. "
— Melinda, 11/12/2013 -

— Joanne, 1/20/2013 -
" Great book, enjoying reading about Rizzoli and Iles and quite surprised how much has been changed between the two types of media. "
— Deanne, 1/11/2013 -
" 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. "
— Babs, 1/10/2013 -
" Gerritsen has such a great style that i expected so much after The Surgeon but this book disappointed me so much. It would have been better "
— JaneDoe, 12/25/2012 -

" Tess always pens a winner!!! "
— Sheila, 6/22/2012 -
" 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. "
— Lea, 6/7/2012 -
" This book was actually really good. This was my first read from this author and even though I lost sleep trying to finish it last night...I don't regret it one little bit. I definitely can't wait to get my hands on the other books in the series. "
— Sena, 2/20/2012 -
" Just ok. I find that I'm not so "in" to voyeuristic crime thrillers. "
— Margaret, 11/5/2011 -
" Not as good as the previous, but the storyline was good and charcters are believable and likeable. "
— Velvetprocrastinator, 10/12/2011 -
" Good series. The first one was a little better than this one but this still a great read...if you like suspense. "
— Debebete, 5/15/2011 -
" An excellent counterpart to The Surgeon! "
— Rhi, 4/11/2011 -
" Page turner as described by S. King. A bit disappointed by the hasty finale but overall impression absolutely good. Excellent reading for journeys. "
— Magdalena, 3/9/2011 -
" i liked this book. It was chilling, but not so gruesome that I couldn't read it late at night. It moved very quickly and I liked the dual narrative. "
— Dawn, 3/7/2011 -
" I love this series! Still the same thrill as "The Surgeon." But this one starts to develop characters and relationships more. "
— Beth, 2/27/2011 -
" I enjoyed this book. Wish I had found this series earlier. I started with the second novel in the series but now I want to read them all. A very enjoyable story. "
— Becky, 2/27/2011 -
" Again, I really like how the book is written. It feels like you're riding along in the cop car with Rizzoli. It captures your attention right away, which for me, is essential. "
