About This Book

A quartet of friends set out in a swift motor-boat for a month-long cruise to race on the great river, encountering navigational hazards, thefts, disappearances, and confrontations that test their seamanship and loyalty. Their voyage alternates breezy travel scenes with suspenseful incidents: a missing companion, a lost bag, an unwelcome party ashore, collisions and upsets, a surprising passenger, and daring rescues from perilous waters. Through resourcefulness, teamwork, and quick judgment they uncover a financial mystery linked to a bond and bring antagonists to light while preparing the racing boat for competition and concluding the adventure with restored safety and camaraderie.
