      About This Book

      MOUNTAIN MOONSHINE, MONKEY BUSINESS--AND MURDER!

      The phone lines were buzzing all the way from Ruby Bee's Bar and Grill to the Flamingo Motel when four hippies, two bachelors, and a psychic moved into Maggody, Arkansas (pop. 755). Chief of Police Arly Hanks was not amused. She had taken the chief's job after her big-city marriage went on the rocks. She needed to be in a quiet place like Maggody where nothing exciting ever happened. Especially murder. But hard cussin', hard drinkin' Robin Buchanon, local moonshiner and lady-of-love, just turned up deader than a skunk flattened by a big rig. What she left behind was a cabin full of kids, a booby-trapped patch of marijuana, and a town waiting for the next body to drop.
