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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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. . . . \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Filled with superbly created characters--and the medical and police procedural details that are her trademark--\u003ci\u003eThe Apprentice\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestselling author \u003cb\u003eTess Gerritsen\u003c\/b\u003e earned international acclaim for her first novel of suspense, \u003ci\u003eHarvest\u003c\/i\u003e.
