The deer hunter braving the icy conditions of the Minnesota woods gets much more than he bargained for when he makes the grisly discovery of a young girl's body. The condition of the body is shocking: the girl had been pregnant, but the fetus was removed from her womb and an inverted pentagram was drawn on her forehead. After the girl is identified as the daughter of a high-powered senator, the FBI is called in to find the murderer - and the missing baby.

The case becomes increasingly complex as Bernadette and Tony Garcia's personal relationship heats up, and the investigation is hampered by the many lies that lead them on a circuitous - and deadly - route to the truth. Through dogged police work and Bernadette's unique power of second sight, they close in on the killers on a frigid night in the snowy woods to try to save the tiniest victim of the toughest crime they've ever solved.
