Introduces the physical characteristics, behavior, habitat, reproduction, and life cycle of the hippo. "The first hippopotamus I saw in the wild was when I was on a small boat on Lake Victoria, that huge stretch of water that is surrounded by Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya. We had anchored for the night-myself and my mother and two African crew. The sun had just set and the evening was quiet and beautiful. Suddenly there was a swirling sound in the water-and there, just a few yards away, was the head of a hippo. I think it must have been a male-a bull as they are called-for it was such an enormous head.

Harry Stanford is one of the wealthiest men in the world, and his family one of the most respected in America. When he mysteriously drowns while cruising on his yacht, things begin to change. Is the beautiful young woman who appears at the funeral really who she claims to be, or is she an imposter?
Ex-cop Bierce has been in prison for over twenty years following his conviction for the murders of his wife and son. He has no memory of the tragedy and has never been able to say with certainty that he didn't do it - except he cannot imagine why on earth he would have killed his beloved family.
