Author Who Created “Rizzoli & Isles” is Next Husson University Distinguished Business Speaker Series Guest
“I was on maternity leave when I began working on my first novel,” said Gerritsen. “After it was published in 1987, I began the slow transition from full-time doctor to full-time writer. The rest is history.”
Following the success of her first novel, “Call After Midnight,” Gerritsen wrote eight more romantic suspense novels. She also wrote a screenplay called “Adrift.” The options to her screenplay were picked up and the story aired as a CBS Movie of the Week starring Kate Jackson of “Charlie’s Angels” in 1993.
Her books have been top-three sellers in the United States and number one bestsellers abroad. She has won both the Nero Wolfe Award for her story “Vanish,” and the Rita Award for her story “The Surgeon.”
She is probably best known for her series of novels featuring homicide detective Jane Rizzoli and medical examiner Maura Isles. These books inspired the TNT television series “Rizzoli & Isles” starring Angie Harmon and Sasha Alexander. Gerritsen’s newest Rizzoli and Isles book, “Listen to Me,” was recently released.
Gerritsen’s first medical thriller, “Harvest,” was released in hardcover in 1996. Book sales for this novel marked her debut on the New York Times bestseller list.
In addition, Gerritsen is a filmmaker. She and her son Josh have just completed production of a feature-length documentary called “Magnificent Beast.” It’s about the ancient origins of the pig taboo. Their previous film, “Island Zero,” is a feature-length horror movie that was released in 2018. Now retired from medicine, Gerritsen writes full time and lives in Maine.
The seventh installment of the Distinguished Business Speaker Series featuring Tess Gerritsen will take place on September 28, 2022, from 9 a.m. – 10 a.m. at Husson University’s Gracie Theatre.

Spanglish Movies Unveils “Sound of Freedom: Hidden War” Official Trailer, Building Buzz for November 14 Theatrical Release
The trailer can be viewed at: https://youtu.be/-yx7DdwRiqQ
Hidden War, featuring activist Tim Ballard’s efforts against international child trafficking, serves as a direct follow-up to the 2023 film Sound of Freedom, which highlighted his initial undercover operations through Operation Underground Railroad (O.U.R.). While Sound of Freedom focused on Ballard’s work in Colombia and the broader fight against sex trafficking, Hidden War extends this narrative to operations in war-torn regions like Ukraine, Ecuador, and Mexico, documenting rescues amid global conflicts and exposing how displaced children become targets for exploitation.
The film’s release on November 14, 2025, comes amid reports of resistance from some cinema chains, echoing the grassroots momentum that propelled Sound of Freedom to over $250 million in worldwide box office success despite initial distribution challenges. Ballard, portrayed by Jim Caviezel in the earlier film, continues his advocacy, emphasizing the ongoing scale of the issue where more children are enslaved today than at any point in history.
Tim Ballard noted, “Films like Hidden War build on the awareness raised by Sound of Freedom to challenge institutional silence on child exploitation. Our goal remains delivering these stories to foster real change in communities affected by trafficking.”
To support wider access, audiences are encouraged to contact their local cinemas and request screenings of Hidden War for the November 14 debut.
Key Details
Theatrical release date: November 14, 2025
Rating: PG-13
