From the Inside Flap
ama knows: sweet-potato pie...and murder.
Old bones and buried secrets...
I would have thought a bunion operation might slow Mama down, but I should have known better. We found ourselves knee-deep in somebody else's trouble even before the surgery, when we saw crazy old Miss Birdie at the grocery store with a baby that didn't belong to her. It wasn't twenty-four hours later that the baby's mother, a young woman with a wild reputation, was murdered--and the baby had vanished.
And when my Daddy's wandering dog began bringing home old bones of the most shocking kind, no way Mama wasn't going to start snooping--with me doing her legwork. It's a good thing I still had two good feet, because before long, I was running for my life...as babies' cries and women's tears mingled in a crime fueled by motives as ancient as human memory--greed, jealousy, and old-fashioned revenge.

Mass Market Paperback. First Ed thus; First Printing indicated. Very Near Fine in Wraps: shows only the most minute indications of use: just a hint of wear to extremities; barely discernible crease at the backstrip. Binding shows the slightest lean, but remains perfectly secure; text clean. Very close to 'As New'. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 12mo. 196pp. Mass Market Paperback. Simone Covington returns to her hometown of Otis, South Carolina to help her mother when Mama undergoes bunion surgery. However, before Mama can recover, a neighbor, Cricket Childs, is murdered and the young woman's baby is missing. In spite of the need to stay off her feet, Mama, using her daughter as her legs, begins to investigate what happened to the infant and who killed the young lady? She quickly links the past to the present and begins to uncover the mystery in her inimitable, down home style. Like the previous novel in this series (MAMA STALKS THE PAST) this entry is a brilliant regional mystery that will absolutely provide 100% pleasure to sub-genre fans. Mama is the great Southern philosopher who readers will adore and cherish. Simone, with her flaws and growth in MAMA ROCKS THE CRADLE, adds depth to the tale. Who-done-it in Americana has never been better than in Nora DeLoach's cozy. First Ed thus; First Printing indicated. Seller Inventory # 41403
