Tip-A-Canoe

Like A Corpse Out of Water.

Maryland physical therapist James P. Dandy embarks upon his third Elderhostel vacation, eager to reunite with his ladylove Dodee Swisher for some romance and outdoor adventure in South Carolina's lovely Santee Dam lakes.

At first, nobody was calling the accidental drowning of a local man murder, or worrying about ecoterrorism at the discovery of an empty box of dynamite. Then the body of a fellow Elderhosteler is found feeding fish in the swamp, and soon Jim is wading into the muddy waters of murder. False trails lead in ever-widening circles as a conspiracy claims yet another victim. But when Jim's clever reasoning unravels the shocking true motive for murder, it leaves him up the proverbial creek -- with a killer holding the paddle.
