Gruesome but gripping thriller

Very well written and intense thriller about the Boston PD homicide unit as they chase a vicious serial killer nicknamed The Surgeon because he cuts out his victims' uterus's while they're alive and then slits their throats and keeps the excised organ as a trophy. In this book we are introduced to Detective Jane Rizzoli, the only woman in Boston PD's homicide unit who is aggressive and territorial about the case and desperately wants to catch him. The killer seems to be focused on women who were previously raped and he is stalking a female trauma surgeon named Catherine Cordell who was the final victim of a similar series of murders in Savannah, Georgia and would have died if she hadn't managed to get an arm free and shoot the man attacking her. However despite the death of her assailant the killer stalking her now seems to know all about her ordeal and is using a campaign of terror to psychologically torment her. Great book, the first in the Rizzoli and Isles Series.
