Sara, médecin et Jeffrey, inspecteur de police font une découverte macabre : une jeune fille morte, enceinte qui a été enterrée vivante...

Avec ses belles maisons et ses rues bordées d'arbres, Ansley Park est l'un des quartiers les plus prisés d'Atlanta. Mais dans l'une de ces demeures parfaites, dans une chambre somptueuse d'adolescente, une jeune fille a été sauvagement assassinée. Sa mère gît au pied de l'escalier, après avoir tué à mains nues l'agresseur de sa fille. L'inspecteur Will Trent du Georgia Bureau of Investigation, dépêché sur les lieux, s'aperçoit vite que la police locale a commis une grave erreur, ennégligeant certains indices : quelque chose dans la traînée de sang, dans une preuve médico-légale, dans les yeux de la mère traumatisée. En quelques minutes, Trent prend le contrôle de l'affaire... et en découvre une seconde. Pour lui, cela ne fait aucun doute : une autre adolescente a disparu et le tueur court toujours.

Découverte macabre sur le campus universitaire : Andy Rosen se serait suicidé en sautant d'un pont. Sara Linton, médecin légiste, est dépêchée sur place. Le corps mutilé fournit peu d'indices sur les circonstances de la mort et les directeurs de l'université veulent à tout prix éviter un scandale. Mais deux autres étranges suicides s'enchaînent... et la soeur de Sara, enceinte, est poignardée. Pour Sara et son ex-mari, le préfet de police Jeffrey Tolliver, il est clair que ces trois crimes sont liés. Sara découvre que l'ancien officier de police Lena Adams, qui est désormais chargée de la sécurité sur le campus, détient peut-être une information cruciale. Mais profondément blessée, exaspérée d'avoir été licenciée, Lena ne semble pas capable d'empêcher qu'il y ait une nouvelle victime...
