She's Pilgrim Hospital's most unusual patient, and on this Saturday night, a media circus is gathered to record every minute of her visit to the X-ray department. Crammed into the small CT scan room are reporters, TV cameras, a select group of medical technicians u and Dr Maura Isles. Maura is there as a forensic pathologist because the patient being scanned tonight isn't alive. She's probably been dead for centuries. She is, in fact, a mummy. As the CT scan proceeds, everyone in the room leans in close. At first everything seems unremarkable u then the scan moves on to the thighs, and the room erupts in chaos as an image of a bullet is revealed. Maura declares this a possible homicide case and calls in Jane Rizzoli. At the subsequent autopsy Jane and Maura learn the horrifying truth: the mummy has only recently been killed, and may have been held captive for some time before her death. It soon becomes horribly clear that a sadistic killer has been hunting women for decades u and that his next victim is much much closer than anyone thinks a

Petero ljudi okupe se oko plitkoga groba. Kopali su ga naizmjence. Trebalo bi im puno više vremena da su kopali jamu za odraslu osobu… Mnogo godina kasnije, ravnateljica ženske škole nađena je okrutno utopljena. Bilo je to prvo u nizu jezivih ubojstava koji su potresli Black Country. Ali kad otkriju ljudske ostatke na zemljištu nekadašnjeg doma za nezbrinutu djecu, s njima na vidjelo izađu i uznemirujuće tajne tog mjesta. Policijska inspektorica Kim Stone nedugo nakon toga shvati da lovi izopačeni um, čija ubojstva sežu desetljećima unatrag. Broj tijela raste, a Kim mora spriječiti ubojicu prije nego što ponovno napadne. Međutim, da bi ga uhvatila, Kim se mora suočiti s vlastitim demonima iz prošlosti prije nego što bude prekasno.

As the dreary, bitter weather of late fall descends on Minneapolis, Detective Nikki Liska is restless, already bored with her new assignment to the cold case squad. She misses the rush of pulling an all-nighter and the sense of urgency of hunting a killer on the loose. Most of all she misses her old partner, Sam Kovac. Kovac is having an even harder time adjusting to Liska’s absence but is distracted from his troubles by an especially brutal double homicide: a prominent university professor and his wife, bludgeoned and hacked to death in their home with a ceremonial Japanese samurai sword. Liska’s case—the unsolved murder of a decorated sex crimes detective—is less of a distraction: twenty-five years later, there is little hope for finding the killer who got away. Meanwhile, Minneapolis resident Evi Burke has a life she only dreamed of as a kid in and out of foster care: a beautiful home, a loving family, a fulfilling job. But a danger from her past is stalking her idyllic present, bent on destroying the perfect life she was never meant to have. As the trails of two crimes a quarter of a century apart twist and cross, Kovac and Liska race to find answers before a killer strikes again.
Returning from Paris to discover a murder victim in her driveway, Boston medical examiner Maura Isles is shocked to discover that the victim looks exactly like her and is a twin sister she never knew.
