About This Book

Three brothers and their friends take a hunt along the lower Mississippi and into the Gulf, searching for a missing houseboat and uncovering a deserted steam yacht whose ownership and secrets spark a wider mystery. Their journey moves through lakes, swamps, and coastal waters and includes chases, captures of criminals, river and engine-room hazards, castaway episodes, and a violent storm. Action alternates with investigation as the group exposes plots, rescues allies, and elicits a villain's repentance, concluding with resolution of the yacht mystery and the party's return home.
