Summary
The secret to my family’s wealth was the river running right outside our door.
Whenever an outsider came by, my father would fake a drowning, then pull the good Samaritan who tried to save him under the water and drown them instead.
He’d call my Uncle Frank to ‘recover the body’ later. Frank would strap the corpse to the boat and demand a hefty reward from the victim's family.
It wasn't just the perfect crime; the profits were incredible.
Until one day, the body Uncle Frank fished out was my father’s.
Just like every person my dad had drowned, his death was ruled an accident.
