On my quest through this treasure box of books, I have just found Body
Double, by Tess Gerritsen. It's copyright date is August 2004, but I am told
it's still her most current book. It looks to be a really good book, but I am
attempting to get through all of these other books which are not mine before I
do my own. I have already done most of the preliminary corrections, as well as
the tedious job of stripping the headers minus the page numbers. Kurzweil
already ranks it in the upper 98 percentile, but I'm sure it can still use a
quick looking over. Is anyone interested in validating this book? If so I
will submit it, but otherwise I'll have to put it on hold until I dig a little
deeper through this pile.
As I said, it looks to be a good book. Pasted below is the book jacket.
Boston medical examiner Dr. Maura Isles literally meets her match-and must
face a savage serial killer and shattering personal revelations-in the
brilliant new novel of suspense by the New York Times bestselling author of The
Surgeon and The Sinner.
Dr. Maura Isles makes her living dealing with death. As a pathologist in a
major metropolitan city, she has seen more than her share of corpses every
day-many of them victims of violent murder. But never before has her blood run
cold, and never has the grim expression "dead ringer" rung so terrifyingly
true. Because never before has the lifeless body on the medical examiner's
table been her own.
Yet there can be no denying the mind-reeling evidence before her shocked eyes
and those of her colleagues, including Detective Jane Rizzoli: the woman found
shot to death outside Maura's home is the mirror image of Maura, down to the
most intimate physical nuances. Even more chilling is the discovery that they
share the same birth date and blood type. For the stunned Maura, an only child,
there can be just one explanation. And when a DNA test confirms that Maura's
mysterious doppelganger is in fact her twin sister, an already bizarre murder
investigation becomes a disturbing and dangerous excursion into a past full of
dark secrets.
Searching for answers, Maura is drawn to a seaside town in Maine where other
horrifying surprises await. But perhaps more frightening, an unknown murderer
is at large on a cross-country killing spree. To stop the massacre and uncover
the twisted truth about her own roots, Maura must probe her first living
subject: the mother that she never knew... an icy and cunning woman who could
be responsible for giving Maura life-and who just may have a plan to take it
away.
Tess Gerritsen left a successful practice as an internist to raise her
children and concentrate on her writing. She gained nationwide acclaim for her
first novel of medical suspense, the New York Times bestseller Harvest. She is
also the author of the bestsellers Life Support, Bloodstream, and Gravity, as
well as The Surgeon, The Apprentice, and The Sinner. Tess Gerritsen lives in
Maine. Visit her Web site at www.tessgerritsen.com.
