The Apprentice by Tess Gerritsen

This is actually my third book of Tess Gerritsen's but it is the 2nd in the Rizzoli and Isles series (1st being The Surgeon).  Here's the synopsis (courtesy Amazon):

Boston detective Jane Rizzoli hasn't completely recovered from the near-death experience at the hands of a serial killer (The Surgeon) that left her scarred and scared, but that doesn't keep her from going after a copycat murderer whose MO is disturbingly familiar. Warren Hoyt may still be behind bars, but Jane thinks there's a connection between him and the man the police call the Dominator, based on the way this new fiend subdues and violates his victims before he kills them. Political interference from an FBI agent who seems to know more about the Dominator than anyone else only intensifies Jane's determination to solve the case. When Hoyt escapes from prison and teams up with his blood brother to take revenge on the policewoman who put him there, the pace of this truly frightening thriller picks up and drives the narrative to its violent conclusion.

This was another very solid read by Gerritsen and as I read more and more of hers, I like the Rizzoli character more and more.  Isles hasn't become a huge character yet but I would imagine that will change as I read more of the books.  Certainly another series that will "take you away".
