Tess Gerritsen
(b.1953)Bestselling author Tess Gerritsen is also a physician, and she brings to her novels her first-hand knowledge of emergency and autopsy rooms. But her interests span far more than medical topics. As an anthropology student at Stanford University, she catalogued centuries-old human remains, and she continues to travel the world driven by her fascination with ancient cultures and bizarre natural phenomena. She started off her writing career with romance novels, now published by Mira. But in 1996 she switched to writing thrillers with her novel Harvest, inspired by the anger she felt about the illegal trade in human organs. It was her first New York Times bestseller. Since then she has become an internationally bestselling author of crime novels, and her thriller series starring Boston detective Jane Rizzoli and medical examiner Maura Isles is the basis for the hit television series "Rizzoli & isles." She lives with her husband in Maine.

Tess Gerritsen recommends
Final Appeal (2024)
Remigiusz Mróz
"First it was Stieg Larsson, then Jo Nesbo, and now it's time for another sensational crime author to enter our shores."
Murder by Degrees (2023)
Ritu Mukerji
"Ritu Mukerji weaves a thrillingly atmospheric tale of intrigue, featuring a brilliant female doctor who's ahead of her time. The descriptions of medicine in a bygone era are so vivid, you can almost see the glint of lamplight reflected in Dr. Lydia Weston's scalpel as she slices through skin."
The Death of Us (2023)
Lori Rader-Day
"Lori Rader-Day is a master of psychological suspense, and her talent shines in The Death of Us. This tale of dangerous secrets and family tensions sucked me right in and kept me reading late into the night."
The New Neighbor (2022)
Karen Cleveland
"Few books have sucked me in as completely as The New Neighbor did. Karen Cleveland ingeniously melds domestic intrigue with the lightning pace of a spy thriller, showing us the devastating personal costs of intelligence work."
Dark Objects (2022)
(Laughton Rees, book 1)
Simon Toyne
"There are times when I read another author's novel and it's so darn good I just want to put down my own pen and retire because I can't match it. This is that book."
In the Dark We Forget (2022)
Sandra SG Wong
"A chilling, nerve-jangling journey into lost memories and unforgettable terrors. Sandra Wong knows what scares us all--and what we can never forget."
