Description

A moonlit river becomes the backdrop for a night of teenage daring as Penny Parker and her lanky friend Louise Sidell slip away from the dock in a modest sailboat. Their banter about school, chores and the local boat‑yard’s quirks feels intimate, while the gentle breezes and twinkling lights along the riverbank paint a nostalgic picture of small‑town summer freedom. When a dark, unlit motorboat suddenly cuts across their path, the girls’ easy sailing turns into a pulse‑quickening mystery.

Penny’s keen eye spots a strange object bobbing ahead—a clue that hints at something more than a simple night out. As the girls navigate the river’s twists and the unseen danger lurking in the shadows, listeners are drawn into a world where friendship, youthful bravado, and silent secrets collide. The story promises a blend of atmospheric adventure and a gentle unraveling of intrigue, perfect for anyone who loves a good mystery set against a breezy, nostalgic backdrop.
