When Detective Kim Stone is called to a local business, what she sees leaves her speechless. The photo on the driving license bears little resemblance to the man laid out before her, and she knows she’s up against the most twisted killer she has ever encountered. But as she breaks the devastating news to the victim’s wife, Diane Phipps, Kim can’t help feeling that something isn’t quite right about the woman’s reaction.

Questa non sarà un’autopsia di routine. L’anatomopatologa Maura Isles ne è certa. Ad attenderla, all’ospedale, c’è lei: Madame X, coperta interamente da bende di lino impregnate di resina, che risalgono a duemila anni prima. I suoi organi interni sono stati asportati, solo il cuore è rimasto al suo posto, perché è lì che gli antichi egizi credevano risiedesse l’intelligenza. Madame X infatti è una mummia, ritrovata per caso negli scantinati di un museo. Quando la TAC arriva alle gambe, Maura scorge qualcosa di impossibile.

A victim killed with a single, precise stab to the heart appears at first glance to be a robbery gone wrong. A caring, upstanding social worker lost to a senseless act of violence. But for Detective Kim Stone, something doesn't add up. When a local drug addict is found murdered with an identical wound, Kim knows instinctively that she is dealing with the same killer. But with nothing to link the two victims except the cold, calculated nature of their death, this could be her most difficult case yet.

Doveva essere un tranquillo weekend in montagna. Maura Isles ne aveva bisogno più che mai, per staccare un po' da un lavoro, quello di anatomopatologa, che le ha fatto guadagnare il soprannome di «regina dei morti». E per dimenticare un amore impossibile. Doveva essere un tranquillo weekend e invece va subito tutto storto. La neve comincia a cadere troppo fitta. La stradina di montagna diventa indistinguibile. Il navigatore satellitare non funziona, così come i cellulari. Basta un attimo perché l'auto esca di strada.

Si sa, la realtà è quasi sempre peggiore dell’incubo: una giovane e bellissima donna, il cui cadavere era stato ritrovato in mare non lontano da uno yacht club, ha ripreso a respirare.
