Scalpel (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780578616629)

The case is assigned to Septimus "Mac" McClymonds, an experienced and industrious New York City homicide detective with a perfect record for catching the killer. But this highly intelligent serial murderer is turning out to be the biggest challenge of his career. Every eyewitness description is completely different with two exceptions - big hands and striking blue eyes.

The surgeon tragically loses his beloved wife to suicide. She was a physician known for helping those no one else would. She was chased down by deceptive malpractice attorneys in a faulty legal system as he helplessly watched her sink into despair and self-destruction.

Mac becomes frustrated and taunted by the grim humor of macabre notes left attached to the bodies.

Mac finally uncovers the surgeon's identity and is about to capture him, when...
