Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Among the River Pirates: A Skippy Dare Mystery Story" by Hugh Lloyd is a mystery novel written in the early 20th century. The book follows the character of Skippy Dare, a young boy whose father, Toby Dare, faces a dire situation after being accused of murdering a corrupt businessman, Josiah Flint. As the story unfolds, the emotional conflicts of Skippy and his father's struggle for justice against the backdrop of a morally complex world become central themes. The opening of the story introduces Skippy and his father as they navigate their new life aboard their scow, the "Minnie M. Baxter". The narrative captures Toby's hope of turning over a new leaf by engaging in honest work after a troubled past but is quickly overshadowed by tragedy when Flint is found dead under mysterious circumstances. As tensions rise, Skippy grapples with fear for his father's reputation and the potential consequences of his accusations. The intricacies of their environment, the dynamics of law and ethics in their community, and Skippy's innocent yet determined resolve to support his father set the stage for a gripping tale of adventure and resilience amid adversity.
