The story

After missing a bus in the Zurich countryside, 14-year-old Danish tourist Vera Brandt comes across a cottage and is beheaded by an unseen assailant, who retains her body. Eight months later, her case is being inspected by forensic entomologist John McGregor and Inspector Rudolf Geiger of the Kantonspolizei Zürich, who note that Vera is the first in a series of murders of young girls, including McGregor's former assistant. Meanwhile, Jennifer Corvino, the daughter of a famous American actor, arrives at the Swiss Richard Wagner Academy for Girls, chaperoned by Frau Brückner, who places her with roommate Sophie.
