Things are looking up for Katelyn Took. She has a job, a roof over her head, a new love, and she's down to fourteen cats. If it weren't for the human remains, she fell into on Eagle Drop Ridge, she'd be over the moon.

Then things start to slide. Before she recovers from falling into the first set of bones, a second set of remains is discovered fifty feet down at the bottom of the ledge. She knows there has to be a connection, even though the father of the male victim says there isn't. His tunnel vision is mirrored by the sheriff's, whose main focus is the female victim.

Katelyn just wants it all cleared up before the climbing company that's considering renting the ledges drops out. It's a balancing act with the media thrown in for added confusion, and somehow the fate of her new love is jeopardized.

Then Katelyn finds a small, shiny clue. What is she going to give up for peace of mind, or rather, what is going to be taken from her?
