 The Trilogy Continues

River Rising, Book #3 in The Loss of Certainty Trilogy


Spring arrives not gradually but in an instant, snowmelt pouring into the tributaries and main stem of the Mississippi. As cities along the river prepare desperately for the onslaught, Jackson, with its floodwalls and levees, seems safe. Storms in the Upper Midwest dump torrents of rainwater on top of the raging snowmelt. Predictions for the crest of the flood rise, and a former city mayor Fritz Goetzinger demands that the flood protection be reinforced although the city can ill afford the money and the crest is still predicted to be below the top of the protection system. Finally, the politics of the situation trump expert opinion and the system is raised. Rain continues to pour down, and as the crest of the flood approaches, with it comes the climax of the worst year in the history of Jackson, Iowa.
