She's Pilgrim Hospital's most unusual patient, & on this Saturday night, a media circus is gathered to record every minute of her visit to the X-ray department. Crammed into the small CT scan room are reporters, TV cameras, a select group of medical technicians
- & forensic pathologist Maura Isles. Maura is there because the patient being scanned tonight isn't alive. She's probably been dead for centuries. She is, in fact, a mummy. As the CT scan proceeds, everyone in the room leans in close
- & gasps in horror as an image of a bullet is revealed. Maura declares it a possible homicide case & calls in Detective Jane Rizzoli. When the preserved body of a second victim is found
- & then a third
- it becomes all too clear that not only is a maniac at large but he is taunting them. & that, unless Maura & Jane can find & stop him, he will soon be adding yet another chilling piece to his monstrous collection. Read by Laurel Lefkow
