Salmon Moon: The River of No Return is the sixth book in local author Julie Weston’s historical fiction series of Nellie Burns and Moonshine mysteries.

Following photographer Nellie Burns and her black Lab, Moonshine, the story takes place along the Salmon River from the Sunbeam Dam to Riggins, Idaho. Sheriff Charlie Azgo lies wounded in a derelict house on the Salmon River in Idaho. Nellie and her black Lab dog Moonshine board a river scow to save him. A small gang of criminals escape with a sack of gold, one in a dory on the river, one on a horse into the wilds, and the third .... The sheriff and Nellie and her dog along with nurse Janie and Ace, a riverboat sweepman--give chase on the River of No Return. In and out of the river, they run rapids, catch salmon, meet miners and settlers and eventually capture their man ... or woman? Mystery and adventure in 1920's Idaho!
