THIS KILLER CARVES HIS VICTIMS! RN Gina Mazzio and her long-time love, Harry Lucke, are deep into marriage plans when a particularly nasty murder intervenes—the bookkeeper in their friend Lolly’s office has been raped and carved up. The worst part? The carving occurred before the murder.
Lolly suspects her cardiologist boss, Dr. Mort Tallent, is involved. And since Gina helped her friend get “the job of a lifetime,†she jumps right into the fire. What she uncovers? Mort is one unsavory cardiologist. His ex-wife was murdered when she dumped him a year ago, and there's some shady shenanigans of a business nature—the kind you might kill to keep secret. Worst of all, there’s that pal of his, the kind of person you never want to meet in a dark alley, or anywhere else. 
 Digging after-hours at Tallent’s office, Gina and Lolly never realize they're under surveillance. Afterwards: Lolly is horribly and brutally attacked, in much the same way the bookkeeper was. There's only one possible conclusion: she knew too much. Gina is the next target. Once again, in Bone Crack, the Lambs deliver a pulse-pounding tale of medical suspense packed with action, terror, and, of course, the requisite Mazzio mayhem. 
 These authors’ patented “not-for-the squeamish†signature applies as usual—so if you're skittish, beware! As always with Gina, this is an action-packed but shocking, take-no-prisoners story. Definitely not for the faint-hearted, but fans of the more hard-boiled medical thrillers (and also of Patricia Cornwell) will eat it up! As will lovers of strong women sleuths, hospital mysteries, and all medical fiction, especially fans of Tess Gerritsen, Carolyn McCray, Eileen Dreyer, Lisa Genova, and Robin Cook.
