Temperance Brennan, forensic anthropologist for both North Carolina and Quebec, has come to Montreal to testify as an expert witness at a murder trial. She should be going over her notes, but instead she's digging in the basement of a pizza parlor. Not fun. Freezing cold. Crawling rats. And now, the skeletonized remains of three young women. How did they get there? When did they die?
In her lab, she establishes their approximate age with Carbon 14. Further study tells her where the women were born. If she's right, Claudel has three recent murders on her hands. As Tempe searches for answers in both her personal and professional lives, she finds herself drawn deep into a web of evil from which there may be no escape. Women have disappeared, never to return...Tempe may be next.
