"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 digs up evidence on the FBI's most famous unsolved mystery—the disappearance of hijacker D. B. Cooper.

That's when her life starts to unravel.

Juggling two urgent crime cases—including a murder investigation that might send an innocent man to death row—Raleigh triggers an avalanche of danger.  And fractures her romance with FBI agent Jack Stephanson.

Worse, Jack doesn't seem to care.

In The Moon Stands Still, Raleigh Harmon confronts her worst fears of failure and abandonment, fighting to uncover the truth and deliver justice—a truth will change her life forever.
