Rock-a-Bye Bones: A Sarah Booth Delaney Mystery

In ROCK-A-BYE BONES by Carolyn Haines, it is a bitterly cold night in Zinnia, Mississippi, with Thanksgiving just around the corner, and Sarah Booth Delaney awakens to the insistent ring of her doorbell. She opens the door to find a newborn baby in a basket sitting on her front porch and a pool of blood slowly seeping out from the basket.

After the police and a doctor ensure the baby is otherwise safe and healthy, Sarah Booth calls Tinkie Richmond, her partner at the Delaney Detective Agency. They know they need to do everything they can to find the baby's mother. But as they track the baby's mother, Sarah Booth soon begins to suspect the woman might have been in danger; in fact, she might have been running for her life. And following in the woman's footsteps, Sarah Booth might find her own life on the line next.
