The Empty Canoe - Paperback

by Peter Georgas (Author)

An empty canoe bouncing off boulders on the shores of Lake Harriet is spotted early one morning by a Minneapolis firefighter on his daily jog. What starts out as a simple ID turns into a full-blown investigation, dragging the fireman on a harrowing journey involving a murdered banker, a beautiful woman, a kidnapped son, and a missing contractor who has left behind a mountain of debt. The twists and turns carry the reader at a dizzying pace from one continent to another only to return to the shores of Lake Harriet for a surprise ending.
