"Raleigh Harmon is one of the best heroines in modern literature." — Nicole Petrino-Salter, Into the Fire
On a scenic riverbank outside Seattle, forensic geologist Raleigh Harmon accidentally digs up evidence linked to the local FBI's most famous unsolved mystery—D. B. Cooper's airplane hijacking and disappearance.
But when the Bureau hires Raleigh to help solve its legendary cold case, her life starts to fall apart.
The state crime lab also wants her to identify geology linked to a young girl's murder that might send an innocent man to death row. Juggling two urgent cases, Raleigh digs deeper into both and triggers a dangerous series of events. She also fractures her fresh romance with agent Jack Stephanson.
What's worse, Jack doesn't seem to care.
In The Moon Stands Still, Raleigh Harmon confronts her worst fears of failure and abandonment, while fighting to deliver justice and uncover the truth.
But that truth is going to change her life forever…
