PECCAVI
The Latin word is scrawled in blood at the scene of a young woman’s brutal murder: I HAVE SINNED. It’s a chilling Christmas greeting for Boston medical examiner Maura Isles and Detective Jane Rizzoli, who swiftly link the victim to controversial celebrity psychiatrist Joyce O’Donnell–Jane’s professional nemesis and member of a sinister cabal called the Mephisto Club.
On top of Beacon Hill, the club’s acolytes devote themselves to the analysis of evil: Can it be explained by science? Does it have a physical presence? Do demons walk the earth? Drawing on a wealth of dark historical data and mysterious religious symbolism, the Mephisto scholars aim to prove a startling theory: that Satan himself exists among us.
With the grisly appearance of a corpse on their doorstep, it’s clear that someone–or something–is indeed prowling the city. The members of the club begin to fear the very subject of their study. Could this maniacal killer be one of their own–or have they inadvertently summoned an evil entity from the darkness?
Delving deep into the most baffling and unusual case of their careers, Maura and Jane embark on a terrifying journey to the very heart of evil, where they encounter a malevolent foe more dangerous than any they have ever faced . . . one whose work is only just beginning.

一位年輕的女子被謀殺，謀殺現場還有兩個血字：“我有罪！”這就是驗屍官Maura Isles和警探Jane Rizzoli收到的聖誕禮物。她們馬上就將這位受害者與廣受爭議的精神病專家Joyce O’Donnell聯繫到一起。他是簡的職業天敵，也是一個神秘組織“梅菲斯特俱樂部”的成員。在燈塔山山頂，僧徒們忘我地研究著惡魔：惡魔真的存在嗎？能用科學解釋嗎？它是否有實物存在？它是否生活在地球上？梅菲斯特俱樂部的成員們廣泛挖掘黑暗的歷史資料、神秘的宗教符號等等，就是為了證明：撒旦就在我們周圍。
看著門口的死屍，Isles 和 Jane很清楚某人或者是怪獸在城市尋覓下一個獵物。梅菲斯特俱樂部的成員開始擔心他們的研究主題。這個瘋狂的殺手是俱樂部的一員？還是他從黑暗中召喚出了惡魔？
隨著Maura 和Jane對這件不尋常案件的深入探討，她們開始了一場探索惡魔中心的旅途，遇上過從未遇到過過的邪惡仇人，她們的旅途還剛剛開始。（Celia）
