Synopsis: Lucy is tired of waiting. Lucy Lankford is counting, the weeks and days until her new piano will arrive at the Cincinnati docks. Then the rains stop, the Ohio River dries up, and Cincinnati shuts down. Not only will Lucy's piano not be coming, but many people are out of work and Lucy's best friend loses her home. When Lucy isn't busy trying to get her hands on a piano, she and her cousin Ben Allerton are trying to solve the mystery of Raggy Wallace. Raggy lives on Sausage Row, down by the landing, and is always tormenting Ben. But for some unknown reason, Raggy treasures a worn scrap of flowered fabric. Why would such a tough boy go to any length to protect this dainty material? As Lucy and Ben get to know Raggy, they discover the answer and decide they have more in common with Raggy than anyone ever suspected.
