Tess Gerritsen talks about: THE SINNER

When I sit down to write a book, I try to tap into a vein of fear --- some premise, some situation, that raises the hair on the back of my neck or gives me a chill.

With THE SURGEON, it was the utter terror of waking up in your bed at night and hearing someone walking into your room.
