Some things refuse to stay buried.
Attorney Skyler Ashford thought starting her own law firm would mean escaping the ghosts of her first year in practice. Then a dead black kitten appears on her doorstep like a macabre omen-and an eccentric new client arrives with a family feud involving a stolen corpse, a rushed cremation, and one very questionable urn.
Meanwhile, a Central Valley farmer needs help selling his almond orchard to a water district. What begins as a routine land deal leads Skyler through a century-old railroad easement, California's increasingly desperate battle over groundwater, and a neighboring crematorium with troubling gaps in its records.
The cases shouldn't have anything to do with each other.
But when a contaminated well, suspicious water tests, and missing human remains begin pointing toward the same patch of California dirt, Skyler must determine whether she's uncovered an extraordinary coincidence-or something else that powerful forces want to keep buried.
With her fledgling firm under financial strain, her law partner taking risks of her own, and Sklyer's budding romantic relationship with Ben complicated by the secrets lawyers are required to keep, Skyler is discovering that hanging out a shingle may have been the easy part.
Because in California's Central Valley, land is valuable, water is priceless-and the dirt remembers everything.
