Two river rafting summer experiences. One with boy scouts and their fathers on Colorado River. The other rafting is on Las Palmas River with four executive bankers. The first trip is a four-day exciting adventure. However the second three-day cruise on a lazy river -for team building- had turned deadly. Detective Esparza di Onega from the small town Trissa, is called on to unravel the Las Palmas River murder case while Chief Alberto Jose Cargile and his boy scout nephews are having a blast on the Colorado River.

Arriving home, Chief Alberto Cargile gets an update from Detective Onega for the bank suspects. Onega initially interviewed, then interrogated the three bankers as evidence points as suspects. They must go back to the murder spot on the river, along with the three remaining executives, to solve the mystery of the missing silver case and the murdered senior executive. Why keep a heavy case in the river raft? What are the bankers hiding and what will Chief Alberto Cargile find on the river? Is the silver case the reason for the murder?

“Time to start loading up for the Big One!” said Chris Stevenson, the executive vice president of Investment Banking Inc.’s international division. He was in his late sixties and driving his BMW 5 Series heading south of Denver. The “wild Southwest,” as he called it, was anything south of Colorado. And it was the small group’s destination.

“After the phone call, we can talk about Las Palmas River rafting,” said his trusted employee of fifteen years, Richard Wright, who was riding shotgun.
Chris Stevenson, senior vice president, and Richard Wright, vice president, co-managed the International Department in Investment Bank Inc., located in Denver, Colorado. Their destination was the Las Palmas River for a team-building exercise. Henry O’Dell, director, and Samuel Moore, director—who made up the rest of the department—were driving in a separate car, planning to rendezvous with Mr. Stevenson and Mr. Wright at the river.
