Almost Anything for Money: Mystery of the Missing Sister — A Novel

May, 1996. The missing sister. A corporate VP. A mook. A recent high school grad. A rust-belt border-city detective. And a cynical 20th-century boatman who travels the waterways of the eastern USA, earning his keep and paying his way by doing Almost Anything for Money – and hopefully helping someone out of a jam in the process.

"I was slowly making my way along the Erie Canal to the Great Lakes on my thirty-eight-foot Chris Craft, the Ship for Brains, named after a drunken sense of humor. Ship for Brains was actually my second choice. The name I had originally chosen for the boat was the John D., named for the author of the Travis McGee series of novels, John D. MacDonald. But if something went wrong in any of my 'Almost' gigs, I didn’t want my actions to be formally associated with his good name. As I read MacDonald’s novels, a rough idea formed that I, too, could be a boat bum who travels around helping people."
