Ex-inspector Jeremy Smith, newly retired from the San Francisco homicide detail, is on his honeymoon with his love of two years, Marie Broussard. After touring the country in a motorhome, they have arrived at their final destination�a small town on the Delaware River in upstate New York�to attend the wedding of the daughter of good friends. But Smith's honeymoon turns into a busman's holiday when the death of a young man in the river reveals a story of love, loss, and pain, and sparks a mystery that spans generations and blurs the line between fact and fiction.
