Former spy Maggie Bird came to the seaside village of Purity, Maine, eager to put the past behind her after a mission went tragically wrong. These days, she’s living quietly on her chicken farm, still wary of blowback from the events that forced her early retirement. But when a body turns up in Maggie’s driveway, she knows it’s a message from former foes who haven’t forgotten her. Maggie turns to her local circle of old friends—all retirees from the CIA—to help uncover the truth about who is trying to kill her, and why.

Jahr für Jahr kommen die Sommergäste nach Purity und beziehen die imposanten Ferienhäuser am Maiden Pond – misstrauisch beäugt von den Anwohnern, die den reichen Großstädtern nicht über den Weg trauen. Als eines Tages ein Mädchen aus einer der Urlauberfamilien verschwindet und kurz darauf menschliche Überreste aus dem See geborgen werden, spitzen sich die Ereignisse in der Kleinstadt zu. Die Polizei ermittelt erfolglos – bis Maggie Bird und der "Martini-Club" ihre Expertise zur Verfügung stellen. Der Club mag zwar aus Spionen im Ruhestand bestehen, doch das Ermitteln verlernt man nie.

Questa non sarà un’autopsia di routine. L’anatomopatologa Maura Isles ne è certa. Ad attenderla, all’ospedale, c’è lei: Madame X, coperta interamente da bende di lino impregnate di resina, che risalgono a duemila anni prima. I suoi organi interni sono stati asportati, solo il cuore è rimasto al suo posto, perché è lì che gli antichi egizi credevano risiedesse l’intelligenza. Madame X infatti è una mummia, ritrovata per caso negli scantinati di un museo. Quando la TAC arriva alle gambe, Maura scorge qualcosa di impossibile.

Entra nelle loro case di notte, scivolando silenzioso nelle camere da letto dove trova le sue vittime addormentate, ignare delle torture che le attendono. E sono torture terribili. La precisione dei suoi metodi suggerisce che sia un uomo di medicina, e spinge i giornali di Boston a soprannominarlo "il Chirurgo".
