During an early morning rowing session with her fiancé, forensic geologist Raleigh Harmon discovers a shocking mystery under Seattle’s Lake Union. But when that discovery triggers an investigation, it threatens to destroy everything Raleigh’s worked so hard for. Her job. Her professional reputation. Even her recent engagement to Jack Stephanson.

But that’s only half the problem.

Raleigh’s mother is getting released from the state mental hospital, while her only solid rock—fairy-godmother Eleanor—suffers a turn for the worse. If that’s not enough, Raleigh’s wacky aunt gets her tangled into a convoluted case that stretches her patience.
