When Windsor Ebonwood and her familiar cat, Pyewacket, travel to the enchanting land of Merj’ir, an underwater city where merfolk and sea animals live in harmony, she and her friends are looking forward to a week of relaxation, including days spent drinking mermaid mojitos while watching handsome mermen play conchball, a favorite Merj’irian sport. They’re also excited to spend time with Jessamin’s goddaughter, Tylee, in celebration of her law school graduation.
Unfortunately, fate has other things in mind when Win and friends discover the body of Tylee’s professor with a speargun arrow through his skull. Suspects abound, from one of the professor’s university rivals to his long-suffering wife who may have decided enough is enough.
When one of the suspects is also found dead under the same grisly circumstances, Win and her friends come under suspicion for both murders and must work fast to save their own tails – both from a killer who will stop at nothing and a prison cell at the bottom of the briny deep.
