- In Seattle, the mechanic Jonathan Mellen is killed in his garage by his coworker Carl Nearman. Soon an old widow, Annie Tisman, receives a tongue by mail from a bogus sender. Lt. Bob 'Bletch' Bletcher summons Frank Black to help in the investigation and he learns that pieces of other victims have been mailed to unrelated people along a couple of years, but the bodies have not been found. Meanwhile, a man named The Judge hires the criminal Mike Bardale, who has just been released from the prison, to help him to promote justice and offering protection to him. His first assignment is to kill Carl Nearman, who worked with The Judge, but failed in his last mission since remove the tongue from Jonathan Mellen when he was dead.

- Frank helps out Bob on a strange case: a woman receives a package containing a human tongue, with no possible explanation of who sent it or why. Bob reveals that this is just one of a series of similar incidents, usually involving hands or fingers. A little later a body is found missing its tongue, and Frank soon matches it with another corpse belonging to the murderer. While Bob is willing to call this a closed case, Frank believes that the truth goes deeper and there are more people involved. Bob's skepticism evaporates when the gruesome packages start arriving once again.—Jean-Marc Rocher <rocher@fiberbit.net>
