description: Cruising down the Amazon River, three vacationing couples become ensnared in a family feud with deadly overtones. The ship's purser is poisoned, the ship's electrical system is sabotaged, and diners are alarmed to see a fellow passenger slump from his chair during a festive dinner. Professional gospel singer Charles Warner snaps a photo of the waiters and inadvertently reveals the culprit. Policeman Bret Brandon draws on his investigative experience to help the distraught captain regain control of events. Photojournalist Steve Roberts senses a major news story about to break and enlists the support of the ship's young radio operator. Their wives, Sallie, Betty, and Kathi try to maintain their sanity by attending aquacise classes, participating in bridge tournaments, and joining the ribald festivities crossing the equator. Read to discover the surprising culprits uncovered by the Roberts, Brandons, and Warners.
