River Magic

I thought I'd escaped my troubles when I fled Hollywood to hike the Appalachian Trail. But trouble keeps finding me...There I was - Raney Meadows, a sort-of-famous actress on a really long hike - when a river goddess left a kayaker's body right where I'd stumble over it.Well, not stumble, exactly. The guy was in the water. But then I'm half-undine - a Water Elemental - so I could have stumbled over him. I mean, it's possible.Anyway, then the dead guy's brother shows up and tells me he wasn't a kayaker. And because I play a homicide investigator on TV, he asks me to find the killer.Which, okay. But I think the brother might be an Elemental, too. And since then we've met two people who could also be Elementals. So what's with the Elementals convention? Why here in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia?And why has the dead guy's cat picked me, of all people, to bond with?
