V katedrále mesta Ragmullin nájdu zavraždenú ženu a o pár hodín nato muža obeseného na strome pred domom, v ktorom býva. Vyšetrovaním poveria inšpektorku Lottie Parkerovú. Obaja mŕtvi majú rovnaké, veľmi zvláštne tetovanie na vnútornej strane stehna. Je jasné, že ich niečo spája, ale čo to je? Inšpektorka sleduje niekoľko stôp, zakaždým však skončí v slepej uličke. Pátranie ju napokon privedie do bývalého cirkevného sirotinca St Angela´s, ktorý zohral temnú úlohu aj v tragédii, čo postihla jej rodinu. Odrazu prípad, ktorý vyšetruje, dostane veľmi osobný charakter. Inšpektorka zistí súvislosť medzi dvomi mŕtvymi v prípade, ktorý vyšetruje, a nevyriešenými vraždami spred mnohých rokov. Dokonca na vlastnú päsť navštívi Vatikán, kam ktosi v podzemnom archíve ukryl záznamy o záhadných úmrtiach chovancov. Medzičasom však dôjde k ďalšej tragédii – dvaja chlapci sú nezvestní. Lottie Parkerová musí čo najrýchlejšie konať, kým vrah udrie znova, ale čo ak pri tom vystaví strašnému nebezpečenstvu aj vlastné deti?

Když Lottie najde v Hannině batohu Lucyino zakrvácené oblečení, nezbývá jí nic jiného než vyděšenou dívku vzít do vazby. Hannah však tvrdí, že si nic nepamatuje, protože jí někdo zřejmě dal drogu do pití, což vzbudí v Lottie pochybnosti o její vině. Mezitím se v kanálu najde tělo patnáctiletého chlapce, který na večírku dělal barmana. A Lottie navíc s hrůzou zjišťuje, že její syn Sean, kterého z večírku sama vyzvedla, se tam nad ránem tajně vrátil pro zapomenutou bundu. Proč jí lhal? Je její milované dítě svědkem, či podezřelým… nebo snad dalším cílem vraha?
