Tempe Brennan arrives in Montreal from Charlotte in early December to testify as an expert witness. As a Forensic Anthropologist for Quebec, she should be reviewing her notes, but instead, she’s in a freezing pizza parlour basement, surrounded by rats and the skeletal remains of three young women. Homicide detective Luc Claudel, who has never been fond of Tempe, believes the bones are historic and not his concern, especially after the pizza parlour owner finds 19th-century buttons with the remains. However, Tempe suspects otherwise. She plans to conduct Carbon 14 testing to determine the bones' age and analyze the tooth enamel to trace the women's origins. If her suspicions are correct, Claudel could be facing three recent murders. Meanwhile, Detective Andrew Ryan's mysterious behavior raises questions. His private phone calls and sudden disappearances come just as Tempe begins to trust him, leaving her with her cat, Birdie, and more nights alone. As she delves into both her personal and professional challenges, Tempe becomes entangled in a sinister web, where women have vanished without a trace. With her own safety at risk, she realizes she may be the next target.

Charlotte, North Carolina. One of the town's oldest neighbourhoods. An underground chamber is exposed in a seedy, dilapidated house with sagging trim and peeling painta Called to the scene is forensic anthropologist Dr Temperance Brennan. Fighting her claustrophobia, and the unmistakeable sweet, fetid odour of rotting flesh, Tempe descends the precariously steep, makeshift wooden steps. What awaits her below is a ritualistic display: slain chickens and a goat u and a skull, ghostly pale, rests on a pedestal, the lower jaw missing, the empty orbits staring back at her. Two cauldrons stand nearby, beads and antlers suspended overhead. Age, race and sex indicators confirm the skull as that of a young, black female u but how did she die, and when? Then, just as Tempe is working to determine the post-mortem interval, another body is uncovered. The corpse is headless, the torso is carved with Satanic symbols. Led by a preacher-turned-politician, citizen vigilantes blame Devil-worshippers and begin a witch-hunt, intent on revenge. As Tempe struggles to keep her emotions and imagination from running away with her, she makes another chilling discovery. Even she couldn't have predicted where this case would lead, or the shocking secrets it would eventually uncover. And the more Tempe learns, the more she seems to be putting herself in dangera

Kiedy policja w Charlotte znajduje zwłoki nastolatki na poboczu dwupasm�wki, Temperance Brennan obawia się, że dziewczyna była ofiarą przestępstwa. W jej torebce policja znajduje kartę klubu linii lotniczych podpisaną przez prominentnego lokalnego biznesmena Johna Henry`ego Story, kt�ry zginął w strasznym pożarze miesiąc wcześniej. Skąd się znali? Czy była nielegalną imigrantką? Prostytutką? Czy została zamordowana. Czy on też? Tempe ma za zadanie także zbadać zawiniątko ze zmumifikowanymi szczątkami peruwiańskich piesk�w, znalezionych przez celnik�w podczas kontroli na lotnisku. Jej c�rka, Katy, opłakując swojego chłopaka, kt�ry zginął w Afganistanie, zaciąga się do wojska. Przeciąga się sprawa rozwodowa Tempe i Pete`a. W natłoku spraw doktor Brennan nie spostrzega, kiedy znalazła się w samym środku międzynarodowego spisku.
Doktor Brennan zostaje niespodziewanie wezwana przez wydział policji w Charlotte, zwany Archiwum X. Ma się tam spotkać ze śledczym, normalnie działającym w strefie operacyjnej położonej bardzo daleko od Charlotte. Powód wezwania okazuje się wstrząsający: zamordowanych zostało dwoje dzieci, i choć dzieliły je tysiące kilometrów, łączyło jedno – osoba zabójcy. Przed laty niejaka Anique Pomerleau porwała i zamordowała w Kanadzie kilka dziewczynek. Z zastawionej przez organy ścigania pułapki udaje jej się wymknąć. Funkcjonariusze sprawiedliwości, w tym Brennan i detektyw Andrew Ryan, ponoszą druzgocącą porażkę. Teraz, jakby wywołana wprost z najgorszych koszmarów, Pomerleau znowu zaczyna działać, tym razem w Stanach Zjednoczonych. Między jej ofiarami w stanach Vermont i Karolina Północna istnieje związek. Gdy znika kolejne dziecko, wydaje się, że nic nie powstrzyma eskalacji terroru – Brennan musi stawić czoła wyzwaniu i wykorzystać drugą szansę powstrzymania psychopatki.
