New York Times bestselling author Tess Gerritsen masterfully crafts a suspenseful tale that keeps readers captivated. In this gripping narrative, a long-forgotten mummy, discovered in Boston’s Crispin Museum, becomes a focal point of intrigue. Dubbed “Madam X,” this seemingly ancient artifact offers a much-needed boost to the financially struggling museum. However, medical examiner Maura Isles uncovers a chilling truth: the mummy is actually a modern murder victim, not an ancient relic. As Maura and Boston homicide detective Jane Rizzoli delve deeper, they find more horrifying evidence, including the remains of another woman hidden in the museum, indicating a dangerous killer is on the loose. Archaeologist Josephine Pulcillo feels the terror when the killer’s cryptic messages surface, culminating in a gruesome discovery left in her car. The killer's knowledge of post-mortem rituals hints at a scientific background, possibly linked to Josephine. She harbors a dark secret that the stalker seems to know, intensifying the threat. With time running out, Maura must utilize her expertise in ancient death traditions to stop the Archaeology Killer before he claims another victim.
