Rizzoli & Isles is a TNT TV series starring Angie Harmon as police detective Jane Rizzoli and Sasha Alexander as medical examiner Dr. Maura Isles. The drama is based on the Rizzoli/Isles series of novels by Tess Gerritsen.
The series' backstory is inspired by The Surgeon. Boston detective Jane Rizzoli was investigating a serial killer named Charles Hoyt some time before the series began. Hoyt, who was banned from medical school for fondling a corpse, used his vast medical knowledge to systematically torture and kill vulnerable women. Eventually, he captures Rizzoli and pins her to the floor with scalpels. As he prepares to cut Rizzoli's throat, her partner, Vince Korsak, shoots Hoyt and saves Rizzoli's life.
