Publisher's Synopsis
Two 14-year-olds find a body on the river With a river at their back doors and a little fishing boat, fourteen-year-old Josh and his friends have no need of a car to get where they want to go-though a lot can happen with the turning of the tide. When he and Lauren discover a body on a yacht anchored just inside the river mouth, Josh becomes a person of interest to the police, to the dead man's widow, and to her conniving brother. The river remains a source of awe and adventure, but they've learned to beware of a . . . Slack Tide
