Synopsis

Detective Deb Ralston has

promised her husband, Harry,

that she'll happily forget

work for three weeks and concentrate

on relaxing, sightseeing, picnickingthey'll

have a real family

vacation (although taking a teenager,

his girlfriend, a toddler, and a

pit bull by van from Fort Worth,

Texas, to Salt Lake City, Utah, can't

be all that relaxing).

The Ralstons settle into Georgina

Grafton's bed-and-breakfast in Salt

Lake City. But while sightseeing in

Gilgal Sculpture Garden on the trip's

second day, they find the body of

Georgina's sister, Alexandra, who

has been killed by a fist-sized rock

aimed at the back of her head.

Georgina tells them that Alexandra,

a victim of multiple personality disorder,

was a handful, but she was

certainly not dangerous enough to

murder.

Or was she? While Deb may be

out of her jurisdiction, she's not out

of her league: Because their grieving

hostess trusts them, she and

Harry volunteer to help Salt Lake

City Police Detective Charlie Sosa

with the case. Promising not to get

too involved, because she wouldn't

want to put her family in jeopardy

and, anyway, she is supposed to

be on vacation.
