Algunas victorias no se cuentan en medallas, sino en cicatrices. La División OpenMind, formada por los mejores agentes psíquicos del MI6, afronta su misión más peligrosa: recuperar las reliquias sagradas que los nazis pretenden usar para alterar el destino de la guerra. Tras los sucesos en España, el grupo se ve obligado a dividirse en dos misiones simultáneas: una en Roma, ciudad asediada por los aliados y defendida con fiereza por alemanes e italianos, y otra en París, aún bajo el puño de hierro del nazismo, donde cada rincón puede ser una emboscada y cada decisión, una sentencia de muerte.

Segunda Guerra Mundial. Navidad de 1943. Clarice y sus compañeros de la División OpenMind reciben un mensaje decodificado, que ha sido interceptado a la Ahnenerbe, la asociación ocultista nazi.

El sexto sentido de Clarice le hace pensar que con ese nombre pueden estar refiriéndose a Sally, su mejor amiga en el Pentágono, que destacaba por sus capacidades para leer las mentes ajenas.
