DIG

From the back cover: "Headline: Murder.

"After serving as the head librarian of Ohio's Hannawa Herald-Union for 33 years, Maddy Sprowls has earned the reputation as the 'Morgue Mama.' But even she is surprised by the name of someone she used to know in the paper: Gordon Sweet, an old friend of Maddy's, was found in a landfill. Shot in the head.

"Sweet specialized in garbology, digging up junk to gain insight into how people lived. But it's his life that's full of surprises when Maddy starts poking into his murder. With a mother lode of suspects, she embarks on a trip down memory lane. Her bohemian days as a fringe member of the Beat generation may hold the key to finding Gordon's killer. Until someone else ends up six feet under, leaving Maddy racing to unmask a murderer hiding in plain sight."
