Stones of blood on the showboat of death!
The cause of Sarah's tragedy remained a mystery for over a century. The Indian chieftain's daughter, callously betrayed by her husband, was found dead near the place where her present-day namesake, the showboat Indian Princess, lay at anchor. But if time didn't unlock the riddle of her death, it also failed to banish her presence from the boat. Lonely ghost-like moans filtered up from the lower decks -- there was an outbreak of unexplained accidents. And then Lyssa du Champ, the new star singer, discovered the terrifying truth about her predecessor's 'suicide' and the bloodstone ornaments sported by the sinister men who ran the show!
A showboat of death…
The cause of Sarah Shreck's tragedy has been a mystery for over a century. The Indian chieftain's daughter, callously betrayed by her husband, was found dead near the place where her present-day namesake, the showboat Indian Princess, lay at anchor.
When Lyssa du Champ is hired as new star singer on the extravagant boat, she is relieved to have left Chicago and a failed relationship behind her.
But when she arrives at Linder's Landing she is troubled by a strange presence and cannot ignore the peculiar atmosphere between her new colleagues. Violent lovers, affairs and a young child who is frequently abandoned to face her seizures make Lyssa question whether this is the right place for her…
The death of Sarah is regarded as local legend and time has failed to unlock the riddle of her disappearance. Yet it has also failed to banish her presence from the boat. Lonely ghost-like moans filter up from the lower decks and there is an outbreak of unexplained accidents. Items go missing, warnings are received and a lethal dog breaks free of his chain.
Is there someone else who can hear Sarah? And what is the message she is trying to send?
When a suicide prompts the revelation of ghastly secrets and unleashes dangerous rivalries, Lyssa discovers the terrifying truth about her predecessor's apparent suicide.
