Delilah Dickinson's literary travel agency is a hit! And
now, after an alarmingly lively tour through the Old South
of Gone with the Wind, she's ready to embark on a leisurely
steamboat trip down the Mississippi, a la Huckleberry Finn.
But when one of her passengers winds up dead, Delilah
reckons she'll have to get to the bottom of this downright
ornery mystery...Ain't no doubt about it: Ben Webster was
murdered, broken neck and all. And, as it turns out, he
caused quite a ruckus and made a few enemies before he
expired by trying to slug a roulette dealer. Delilah knows
the steamship's no-nonsense head of security definitely is
dirty and low-down and just plain old mean...but could he be
a murderer? It's all enough to make her wish she was
floating lazily down the Mississippi with Huck and Jim,
mainly. But when someone breaks into and searches her cabin,
Delilah is fixin' to do some seriously sly sleuthing into
all of this foolishness. Pretty soon her list of suspects is
longer than the Mississippi is wide...not to mention she's
taken quite a shine to Mark Twain himself - or rather Mark
Lansing, the handsome actor playing Huck Finn's scribe for
the tour. But of course things just ain't never what they
seem when Delilah's at the helm, and one tricky murder turns
into two and things start to get pretty dicey on yonder
steamboat. Thankfully Delilah's sassy daughter Melissa is
only a phone call away because she'll need all the help she
can get to keep the boat and it's passengers from an ending
that could only be described as...explosive.
