During a medical conference in Wyoming, Boston medical examiner Maura Isles joins friends on a spontaneous ski excursion. Their SUV stalls on a snow‑blinded mountain road and the group takes shelter in the isolated village of Kingdom Come, where twelve eerily identical houses sit abandoned and life‑signs have vanished. As the blizzard rages, Maura’s charred body is later found in a ravine, spurring her colleague, homicide detective Jane Rizzoli, to investigate. Rizzoli’s pursuit uncovers a buried, chilling truth about Kingdom Come and a relentless, merciless adversary tied to the village’s dark past.
