" Ils savent. Vous êtes en danger. Partez avant qu'il ne soit trop tard. " En dépit des menaces, Liz Ames s'obstine : pourquoi cherche-t-on à l'empêcher d'élucider le mystère qui plane sur la disparition inexpliquée de sa sœur Rachel ? A Key West, les habitants paraissent réticents à évoquer le sujet. A commencer par Tara Mancuso : si l'adolescente que rencontre Liz semble détenir la clé du mystère, elle se tait, apparemment terrifiée. Avant d'être sauvagement assassinée... Face à l'horreur, Liz Ames comprend que la disparition de sa sœur, une femme de foi et d'Église, et l'assassinat barbare de Tara, dont elle découvre le corps tatoué d'une rose noire, et mutilé selon un atroce rituel dans le jardin de l'église de Key West, ont un lien. Mais lequel ? Le meurtre de Tara est-il, comme l'affirme Mark, son petit ami, l'œuvre d'une secte avec laquelle elle tentait de rompre ? Ou bien celle d'un copycat du tueur en série qui attend dans les couloirs de la mort son exécution pour l'assassinat de plusieurs jeunes filles ?
