Den mördade kvinnan är en exakt kopia av henne själv. Vem är hon? Vad gör hon här? Händelsen tvingar Maura att tänka tilbaka på sin bakgrund.

Innanför kapellets väggar, nu nedfläckade av blod, ligger två nunnor - en död, en allvarligt skadad - båda offer för ett skoningslöst, brutalt övergrepp. Det barbariska brottet verkar sakna motiv, och de äldre nunnorna i klostret är inte till mycket hjälp i polisutredningen. Men rättsläkaren Maura Isles obduktion av den döda kvinnan ger ett chockerande resultat: Den 20-åriga syster Camille födde ett barn innan hon mördades. Det makabra fallet tar en ny, häpnadsväckande vändning när en annan kvinna hittas mördad i en övergiven byggnad, med kroppen lemlästad till oigenkännlighet.

Men han sitter sedan nästan ett år inspärrad på ett högsäkerhetsfängelse. Polisen måste utgå ifrån att de har med en lärjunge att göra, en vettvilling som grundar sina brott på de perversa kirurgiska ingrepp hans beundrade läromästare utförde.

Dentro di sé, Jane Rizzoli ha una sola certezza: quello non è che l'inizio. Eppure, la verità è là fuori, da qualche parte, qualcuno la sa. Ma chi?
