Melancholy Baby - Couverture souple

Sunny Randall's latest client is Sarah Markham, a college student who suspects that her mother and father have been lying about the identity of her true birth parents.

The case brings Sunny to Chicago and into the pasts of several radio presenters. When Sarah is roughed up and warned to call off the investigation, Sunny turns to her friend, Spike, for help. The case takes another puzzling turn when Sarah's father, George Markham, is murdered after agreeing to DNA testing.

At the same time, Sunny must contend with her own feelings about her ex-husband Richie's remarriage to a woman she has sworn to hate.

Expertly crafted and filled with Parker's signature dialogue, this is the Grand Master at his storytelling best.
