Ero stata legata, le mani ai piedi, e abbandonata in un sotterraneo buio e freddo, circondata da resti umani. La dottoressa Tempe Brennan, esperta nel leggere le storie delle ossa, si ritrova prigioniera senza sapere il perché. Il panico la minaccia, ma non può arrendersi. Inizia a ricordare: una telefonata anonima l'aveva accusata di aver insabbiato la verità su un omicidio di un'ereditiera. Inoltre, il caso di tre donne anziane massacrate nei boschi di Montréal e gli errori inspiegabili che avrebbe commesso nell'analisi dei loro corpi, errori che la sua ambiziosa collega, l'anatomopatologa Marie-Andréa Briel, ha sempre corretto. In questa situazione disperata, Tempe ricompone il puzzle e si rende conto che è diventata il bersaglio. Solo lei può trovare il modo di liberarsi e scoprire chi l’ha voluta fuori dal gioco e perché. Con una narrazione intensa e avvincente, l'autrice offre un ritratto emozionante della sua eroina, Temperance Brennan, e costruisce un thriller che tiene il lettore con il fiato sospeso fino all'inaspettata rivelazione finale.
