Christmas Eve is no holy night for Boston Medical Examiner
Maura Isles as she is summoned to the scene of a vicious
killing. Teamed up with Detective Jane Rizzoli, Isles
links the unfortunate victim to Joyce O'Donnell, the
confrontational psychologist who so frustrated their
earlier pursuit of the notorious murderer known as the
Surgeon. Isles and Rizzoli follow O'Donnell's trail to a
sinister cabal called the Mephisto Club.
On Beacon Hill, the bookish members of the club devote
themselves to the analysis of evil. But with the grisly
appearance of a corpse on their doorstep, they begin to
fear the very subject of their study. Could this maniacal
killer be among them? Or have they inadvertently summoned
an evil presence from the darkness? To unravel the macabre
mystery, Maura and Jane embark on a labyrinthine journey
to uncover the ancient roots of evil, along the way facing
a malevolent foe more dangerous than any they've ever
faced.
