Julia Hamill ist schockiert: Bei Gartenarbeiten stößt sie auf die Überreste eines menschlichen Skeletts. Dr. Maura Isles wird als Pathologin hinzugezogen und stellt schnell fest: Die Gebeine stammen von einer jungen Frau, die offensichtlich ermordet wurde – und zwar vor zweihundert Jahren. Wer ist die Tote, und wer hat sie heimlich im Garten des alten Herrenhauses verscharrt? Die Neugier lässt Julia keine Ruhe. Ihre Nachforschungen führen sie in die Vergangenheit der medizinischen Fakultät der Bostoner Universität. Boston 1830: Ein brutaler Mörder treibt sein Unwesen in der Stadt.

Jordan Tavistock ist sich nicht sicher, ob er der Frau trauen soll: Clea Rice sagt, sie ermittelt in einem Versicherungsbetrug und ist daher auf der Suche nach dem "Auge von Kaschmir", einem legendären Dolch. Aber muss sie dafür nachts in ein fremdes Schlafzimmer eindringen? Als kurz darauf eine Bombe explodiert, die für sie bestimmt war, weiss er immerhin, dass Clea in Gefahr schwebt und er sie beschützen muss.

Kurze Zeit später taucht eine weitere Frauenleiche auf, auch sie völlig entstellt Satanszeichen geschändet.

Eine namenlose junge Frau in der Gerichtsmedizin ist für Maura Isles nichts Ungewöhnliches. Doch als die Pathologin den Leichensack öffnet, schlägt die scheinbar Tote plötzlich die Augen auf. Maura fährt die unterkühlte Frau sofort ins Krankenhaus. Doch kaum hat die Unbekannte sich erholt, tötet sie einen Wachmann und nimmt erst Maura und, nachdem diese fliehen kann, Patienten als Geiseln ...
