Detective Marian Cole is called to the scene of a staged murder in the American Wing of the Museum of Fine Arts. The victim, Elise Chambers, is posed to mimic John Singer Sargents painting "Madame X." The killer manipulates the crime scene with artistic precision, treating the victims blood like paint.
As Cole investigates, she recognizes the work of an educated and meticulous killer with a deep understanding of art history. The killer is not only recreating famous paintings, but also making a statement by subverting their original meaning.
The investigation reveals a pattern: the murders are recreations of iconic American paintings, arranged chronologically backward. The killers technical skill increases with each murder, suggesting artistic training and experience in art preservation or restoration.
