<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Early on a September evening, the mutilated body of a pretty teenaged girl, a high school soccer star, is found dumped in a scrap-metal yard. She has been viciously assaulted, her heart cut from her chest with surgical precision. The very same day a young businesswoman, also a blonde and an athlete, was abducted as she jogged through the streets of the city's west end. McCabe suspects both crimes are the work of the same man - a killer who's targeting the young, who is clearly well-versed in complex surgical procedures, and who may have struck before. Just as the investigation is beginning, McCabe's ex-wife reemerges, suddenly determined to reclaim the daughter she heedlessly abandoned years earlier. With the help of his straight-talking (and, at times, alluring) partner, Maggie Savage, McCabe begins a race against time to rescue the missing woman and unmask a sadistic killer - before more lives are lost.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>The first novel in the nationally bestselling McCabe and Savage series--perfect for fans of John Sandford and CJ Box.</p><p>Someone is stealing the hearts of beautiful women...</p> <p>Detective Mike McCabe moved from a top homicide job with the NYPD to Portland, Maine to leave his failed marriage and suspicions of wrongdoing behind, and to find a more peaceful life for himself and his 13 year old daughter. </p> <p>But the small New England city is not nearly as safe as he thought. </p> <p>On a warm September night, a missing high-school athlete is found dead in a scrap metal yard, her heart removed from her body with surgical precision.

What's frightening is that Hayman makes it seem possible, even probable"--Bangor Daily News on THE CUTTING<br><br>"In THE CUTTING, [Hayman] gives readers a suspenseful police procedural whirling around a character who has the brains, courage and human concern to be the reader's hero from start to finish."--Portland Press Herald on THE CUTTING<br><br>"Taut, deft and with a delicate sense of place, this is supremely accomplished storytelling--not just another depiction of a serial killer rampage."--Daily Mail (London) on THE CUTTING<br>
