Ruben and his best friend, Jeddy, know that the corpse they find on the beach has something to do with the rum-runners operating off the shores of their town. But when the boys race home to tell the police, the chief is away and the deputy sergeant blows them off. By the time they finally get someone to investigate, the body has vanished without a trace. Inspired by real accounts of liquor smuggling in Rhode Island during the Prohibition era. Author's note.
