Amity Dam and the Shadow of Shad Morryson
In 1886 the River Hacquette bridges unite two rival towns into Amity Dam, birthplace of a famed mystery. Shad Morryson, a hungry runaway boy found by fishermen, is sheltered by guide Phide Scott and steel magnate Edmund C. Converse who fund his start, while his father Bat Morryson hunts him. The country hushes as Converse plans to guard the boy for twenty four hours.
