N.Y.: Saint Martin's Press, 1998. 1st edition, June 1998, with complete number line beginning with 1. Fine in fine dust jacket, not price clipped, in protective mylar cover. Second in the series. "Julia Lambros narrates this very contemporary cozy in which she assists in the running of her husband's Greek cafein Delphi, Georgia. Nick and Julia have a cute dog, a huge and endearing cook, Spiro, from Crete, and an interesting way of fitting their urban ethnicity into their small southern town--they're sleuths. The death of a young interracial couple's baby brings protesters when the child is buried in a white cemetery, and although few mourn the murder of the preacher who sparked the protest, few are surprised when the child's mother, April, caught on video with the gun, is arrested. Julia believes firmly in April's innocence, however, especially when thugs attack April's husband while he guards his son's grave. Although the themes are dark--racism, drink and gambling, good-ole-boy intimidation, and religious fundamentalism--Julia's upbeat and wry persona keeps the story moving." -- Bookist. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. Book.
