While in Wyoming for a conference, Dr. Maura Isles joins new friends on a spur-of-the-moment ski trip.  A wrong turn leaves them stranded in deep snow.  As night falls, the unlucky group of travelers stumbles into the eerily deserted village of Kingdom Come, where meals are still on tables and cars are still parked in garages. The inhabitants have seemingly vanished into thin air.  But footprints in the snow tell them that they are being watched.

For untold years, the perfectly preserved mummy had lain forgotten in the dusty basement of Boston’s Crispin Museum. Dubbed “Madam X,” the recently rediscovered mummy is, to all appearances, an ancient Egyptian artifact. But medical examiner Maura Isles discovers a macabre message hidden within the corpse–horrifying proof that this “centuries-old” relic is instead a modern-day murder victim. When the grisly remains of two other women are found, it becomes clear to Maura and Boston homicide detective Jane Rizzoli that a maniac is at large.
