Sometimes it’s better to listen to your inner voice before the night irrevocably descends upon the senses. Julia Schwarz is well acquainted with death. The forensic pathologist is also known as the Ice Lady at her institute. Nothing can throw her off course quickly. At least not as long as she manages to keep her dark past at bay. When Detective Inspector Florian Kessler calls her to a crime scene in a nearby moor, everything initially appears to be a simple case. But then the body disappears, and Julia sets out to search for the dead girl. Instead of the corpse, she encounters another victim. Only then does Julia realize that she is dealing with a dangerous serial offender who has a sinister plan. A peculiar tattoo on the women’s abdomen seems to be the only connection between the cases. But time is running out.
