Just days after mathematician and family patriarch Isaac Severy
dies of an apparent suicide, his adopted granddaughter Hazel, owner
of a struggling Seattle bookstore, receives a letter from him by

after his final bombshell equation, and he charges Hazel with
safely delivering it to a trusted colleague. But first, she must
find where the equation is hidden.

While in Los Angeles for Isaac’s funeral, Hazel realizes she’s not

implications have potentially disastrous consequences for the
extended Severy family, a group of dysfunctional geniuses unmoored
by the sudden death of their patriarch.

As agents of an enigmatic company shadow Isaac’s favorite son—a

in Los Angeles, the equation slips further from Hazel’s grasp. She
must unravel a series of maddening clues hidden by Isaac inside one
of her favorite novels, drawing her ever closer to his mathematical
treasure. But when her efforts fall short, she is forced to enlist
the help of those with questionable motives.
