    L'ex detective della sezione 'Infiltrati' di Dublino Cassie Maddox viene convocata con urgenza dal suo vecchio capo Frank Mackey: una giovane donna è stata trovata uccisa, pugnalata al petto, in un cottage diroccato della campagna irlandese. Sembrerebbe un caso di routine, se non fosse che la vittima somiglia in modo impressionante a Cassie e che se ne andava in giro con un'identità fittizia, facendosi chiamare Lexie Madison. Il nome non è per niente nuovo a Cassie: nella sua prima missione, appena uscita dalla facoltà di psicologia, lo aveva usato come copertura allo scopo di infiltrarsi in un giro di trafficanti di droga all'interno del campus universitario. Della giovane donna trovata morta si sa solo che stava seguendo un dottorato in letteratura e che viveva in un'antica residenza georgiana, Whitethorn House, con altri quattro studenti. Ma chi era esattamente? Perché usava il nome di Lexie Madison? E l'assassino conosceva la sua vera identità o l'ha scambiata per la poliziotta? Cassie decide così di accettare la proposta di Frank e tornare a indossare i panni di Lexie, prendendo il posto della ragazza - senza divulgare la notizia della sua morte -, in modo da avvicinare le persone che frequentava e identificare i sospetti. Ma ben presto scoprirà di avere in comune con lei molto più del volto e di un nome falso...
