BOBBY'S OTHER FAVORITE

Clyde Ford, a psychotherapist by training, writes mysteries rooted in world mythology. This book, Ford's fifth Charlie Noble adventure, begins with an elderly couple's discovery of a young woman's body when they pull their boat's anchor out of the water. The couple lost their own daughter under mysterious circumstances years before, and her body was never recovered; seeking to spare other parents that pain, Marvin and Angela ask Charlie Noble to find out who the girl on the anchor was, and how she died. PRECIOUS CARGO, beyond being a mystery, is also a story of how people learn to let go and live with the unresolved.
