CARP is a Southern mystery-adventure with a lot of river
CARP is a mystery-adventure leaning more to the adventure side. Joe Chapman is a recently divorced, bankrupt, and suspended lawyer who sets out for a summer's cruise on the lakes of the Tennessee River system with his dog J. R. Just as he prepares to leave, a purse washes up to his dock with partial identification of a Baton Rouge woman inside. Joe first disregards the find but a little later becomes obsessed with finding this woman. He takes off toward Baton Rouge on a circuitous route on his boat. Just a few days after he leaves East Tennessee, bodies begin to float to the surface of the Tennessee River putting Joe's best friend-attorney general Charles Palk-into an unsettling investigation during an election year. CARP is more than a murder mystery though, as Joe Chapman continues to look for the woman of his dreams. This is a river adventure rich in setting, character development, and action. Enjoy.
