Where's My Wife?

by Clark Selby

About The Book

Where’s My Wife? Is the story of Rocky Stone, a former Captain of the Texas Rangers, who began writing very successful dime novels and his wife, Latesha Stone, daughter of Henry Hudson IV, one of the wealthiest men in America.

Rocky and Latesha met in New York after being introduced by Rocky’s publisher’s wife, one of Latesha’s closest friends.

They were married and moved to Boonville, Missouri, where their home sits on a high bluff overlooking the Missouri River. Watching the traffic on the river below was one of their great joys in life.

They made a trip on riverboats to New Orleans so Latesha could buy some new dresses which had just arrived from Paris, France.

They boarded The Pride of St. Louis riverboat to return home to Boonville and while Latesha was busy straightening up their cabin, the ship’s captain asked Rocky to have a drink with him.

After having a drink and a lot of conversation with the captain, Rocky returned to their cabin and found the door unlocked and Latesha was gone. Rocky thought she must have needed something for their room and went to get it and would return shortly.

Rocky lay down on their bed as the riverboat was making its way up the Mississippi River and promptly fell asleep. A few minutes later Rocky awoke; Latesha hadn’t returned to their cabin so he went looking for her since they were to meet the captain for dinner.

He couldn’t find her and after talking with the captain, the riverboat was searched from top to bottom but she was nowhere on the ship! After accounting for all of the other passengers, they found three other passengers were missing.

No one could understand how four people got off the ship without anyone seeing them leave the ship before it sailed. They were just gone. It made no sense.

Rocky shouted, “Where is my wife? Rocky’s quest in life now was to find his wife.
