Finding Roda Anne

From the Deep South, comes Deloris Meek, Esquire, a fast-talking, animated lawyer who practices law during the 1960s out of a converted milk truck. He is not a lawyer one would retain on a good day, his having flunked the bar exam on his first try. And his second. One afternoon, he meets an auctioneer in a beer joint and agrees to draft his will and consents to serve as the auctioneer’s executor and lawyer for his estate. When the auctioneer dies, Meek's problems begin. Not only must he search for the auctioneer's sole heir, Roda Anne Harrison, he must also contend with three disgruntled claimants to the property. After the auctioneer's funeral and accompanied by Dixie St. John, a float-qualified” legal secretary, they begin their search for the heir. Along the way, they meet several unforgettable characters.
