Review Quotes: After five men died on a whitewater rafting trip, litigation ensuedmdash;not against the outfitter but against the advertising agency that sponsored the trip as a business development adventure. Cecil Kuhnersquo;s page-turner takes the reader on a wild ride down the Chilko River in British Columbia where the tragedy occurred and into the Chicago courtroom where a widow sought recompense for her husbandrsquo;s death. The author, who is both an attorney and a whitewater rafting guide, delivers an authoritative account of a fascinating case.
