Leaving Amsterdam, twenty engaging personalities begin a seven-day bike and barge excursion through the Netherlands. Allegiances form, love interests develop, conflicts arise, and a cyclist's lifeless body mars their arrival in Maastricht.
Who is responsible? The insulted chef? An angry deckhand? The most antagonized among the guests? Everyone onboard, the result of a well-wrought plot?
Eros? Could the culprit be the god of love whose arrows never miss their mark and whose intentions never falter?
Editorial Review

Cupid? No. Not on this voyage. Instead we catch a ride on the breeze with Eros, and on the Dutch canals with the river barge Amoretto Algea. The perspectives from each are engaging, even challenging at times. What do you really know about love and the whims of the gods? Sterling understands well these unfathomables and the questions we ought to be asking.
