内容简介：
Jake Tama is a riverboat captain and has been around rivers all his life. He spent some time in the Navy, and then sixteen years as a policeman-homicide, mostly. He knows the rivers about as well as anybody-every stump, sandbar, shoal, bend, lock and dam. His main activity is picking up and delivering boats for various companies up and down the rivers; and that is what brings up his problem-crime, murders. Everywhere he goes something happens to get him drawn into resolving a mystery-even worse than when he was a cop. Like the murder of the Branson Star; two of them, in fact. Or the Knoxville country music icon and his religious counterpart. Then there was the priest in Albia, and the terrorist situation on the Mississippi-a whole other type of criminal. He has been accused of committing some of the murders and has almost been a victim. And they always happen under a red moon. Ask your grandma about that. And yes, he's had a few romances along the way after he lost his wife-but nothing serious-not until his childhood sweetheart came back into his life. Here's his story, in his own words.
