Just as his surgery team begins to operate on New York's leading drama critic, F. J. Pervis III, the patient suddenly goes into cardiac arrest. The team fails to resuscitate him, so the corpse is moved to the hospital's morgue. But before the autopsy is even performed, the body vanishes from the morgue and mysteriously reappears a day later--with the brain surgically removed. Even more disturbing is the medical examiner's discovery: Pervis was still alive when the ghostly craniotomy was performed. \u003cp\u003e With their reputation at stake, the hospital assigns NYPD's Detective Patrick McManus to the case; meanwhile, Demetri learns of an eerily similar century-old unsolved mystery that leads him to an enigmatic figure lurking in the bowels of the medical center.
