Death by a Dam Site Book Summary and Study Guide

Detailed plot synopsis reviews of Death by a Dam Site


When talented Terri Larsson ran away, everyone was shocked, but when the pesky kid that Terri called Dumb Doug is shot while trying to halt a man-made lake, no one is surprised. In fact, the only unhappy people are Terri's elderly grandparents; Willie Peploe, scion of an inbred clan whose roots trace back to the Fort Stanwix line; and Calvin Crowpole, a swamp-dwelling Chippewa hermit charged with the murder. In a place of timeless beauty, a terrible tragedy unfolds before the sharp blades of a bulldozer and the unrelenting gaze of Robin Beynac, a dedicated friend.
