Boston’s Crispin Museum uncovers a perfectly preserved mummy, dubbed “Madam X,” in a dusty basement. Medical examiner Maura Isles quickly realizes the relic is not ancient but a freshly murdered victim. Together with homicide detective Jane Rizzoli, Isles digs deeper as more bodies surface, each tied to the museum’s secret corners. Companion archaeologist Josephine Pulcillo finds cryptic clues and experiences a chilling personal threat while the killer’s knowledge of post‑mortem rituals suggests a scholarly background. Isis and Rizzoli race against time to stop the “Archaeology Killer” before another victim is added to his grisly collection.
