Product Description

Review
Praise for The Surgeon: 'If you like your crime medicine strong, this will keep you gripped' Mail on Sunday 'Authentic, convincing' Sunday Times Praise for The Apprentice: 'Goes head-to-head with Nicci French and Karin Slaughter to scare the pants off you! A classic page-turner, full of melodrama' Daily Mirror 'Compulsive' Irish Times Praise for Gerritsen: 'Tess Gerritsen is an automatic must-read in my house. If you've never read Gerritsen, figure in the price of electricity when you buy your first novel by her 'cause baby, you are going to be up all night. She is better than Palmer, better than Cook! Yes, even better than Crichton' Stephen King 'Tess Gerritsen is an automatic must-read in my house' Stephen King 'A Crichton-like medical thriller set on Stephen King's home turf' People Magazine 'Weirdly terrific stuff with a steel grip. Doc Gerritsen's mastery! may give the reader gray hairs' Kirkus 'Gerritsen has hit another home run for the summer reading team' US Library Journal

Product Description
In April came the rains. In August came the heat. In November came the horror. It's paying a return visit. Lapped by the gentle waters of Locust Lake, the small resort town of Tranquility, Maine, seems like the perfect spot for Dr Claire Elliot to shelter her adolescent son, Noah, from the temptations of the big city and the lingering memory of his father's death. And she's hopeful that she can earn the trust of the town as she builds a new practice. But all her plans unravel with the onset of winter when a rash of teenage violence, far more deadly than anything she'd encountered in the city, erupts in the local school. As she tries to find a medical explanation for this murderous epidemic, Claire stumbles upon an insidious evil which has blighted the town's past and threatens its future. Fearful that Noah, too, is at risk, she must race to prove her theory before everything she loves is destroyed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Possibly her best?, 29 Jan 2004
By Danielle Hall - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
After the first few chapters I was pleased to find that this book was as good as Gerritsen's Surgeon/Apprentice series of books, as I read on I found it was better. This is a story about a small community in Maine where people start to behave strangely and violently for no apparent reason. Is the problem a medical one? Is it down to a chemical contaminant? Or is the problem more sinister than that? This novel is reminiscent of Cornwell and Reichs at their best, although with a bit less emphasis on forensic pathology and a touch more Stephen King. A well paced thriller.
