Synopsis
Her personal life may be a mess. And no one said her family was sane. But as lead detective at Atlanta's Peachtree Investigations, hard-nosed, fast-talking PI Sunny Childs is always up for cracking a case. And now starring in her sixth mystery, Sunny is in deep. When her cousin Lee-Lee, a documentary film maker who's set to interview convicted murderer Dale Weedlow, invites Sunny along for the ride, Sunny knows her very presence will probably convince her flighty cousin that the sicko's been framed. But Sunny ends up going, and to her surprise, things are indeed not as they seem. Behind the gentility of the local politics, business and law enforcement looms evidence of a cover-up and as usual, Sunny finds herself deep into the original murder case. But with the locals closing their doors in her face and the time before the convict's execution running short, Sunny has to hurry if she's going to get to the bottom of the six-year old murders of two girls whose feet had sunk deep into the Southern clay.

About the Author
Ruth Birmingham's second novel in the Sunny Childs series, Fulton County Blues, won the Edgar Award for best original paperback in 2000. This is her sixth Sunny Childs mystery.
From Publishers Weekly
In the winning sixth Sunny Childs mystery (the first to be published in hardcover) from the pseudonymous Birmingham (aka Walter Sorrells), the Atlanta PI helps her younger, flightier sister, Lee-Lee, make a documentary about a prisoner on death row. Convicted of the brutal sex murders of two local women, Dale Weedlaw is scheduled to be executed in a few days. No sooner does Lee-Lee, in search of an interview, arrive in the small Georgia town where the killings took place, however, than she's arrested on false charges and thrown into jail. After Sunny gets her released, they set about encountering and questioning the occasionally cagey and often unfriendly locals. It soon becomes clear—even before they meet Weedlaw—that there are likelier suspects for the murders still at large. Solid dialogue, a strong yet nuanced sense of place, entertaining characters and regional humor make this a fun, fast read. The second in the series, Fulton County Blues (1999), won an Edgar for best original paperback. (May)
