About The Surgeon
Boston police hunt a serial killer who attacks women in their homes with methods precise enough to earn him the name the Surgeon. Detectives Thomas Moore and Jane Rizzoli turn to Dr Catherine Cordell, who survived an almost identical attack two years earlier. When the new murders begin echoing the details of her ordeal, it becomes clear that the killer is not merely copying the past—he is targeting Catherine.
