520    "Nephthys Kinwell is a taxi driver of sorts in Washington,
       DC, ferrying passengers in a 1967 Plymouth Belvedere with 
       a ghost in the trunk. Endless rides and alcohol help her 
       manage her grief over the death of her twin brother, 
       Osiris, who was murdered and dumped in the Anacostia 
       River.  Unknown to Nephthys when the novel opens in 1977, 
       her estranged great-nephew, ten-year-old Dash, is finding 
       himself drawn to the banks of that very same river. It is 
       there that Dash--reeling from having witnessed an act of 
       molestation at his school, but still questioning what and 
       who he saw--has charmed conversations with a mysterious 
       figure he calls the "River Man."  When Dash arrives 
       unexpectedly at Nephthys's door bearing a cryptic note 
       about his unusual conversations with the River Man, 
       Nephthys must face what frightens her most.  Morowa 
       Yejidé's deeply captivating novel shows us an unseen 
       Washington filled with otherworldly landscapes, flawed 
       super-humans, and reluctant ghosts, and brings together a 
       community intent on saving one young boy in order to 
       reclaim itself."--Amazon.
