MYSTERY & SUSPENSE
 | Teen mother Brittany Morgan left two-month-old Ivy sleeping alone in her locked car while she dashed into a store. Now Ivy has vanished and half the town suspects Brittany murdered her baby.
Detective Matthew Finn can find no witnesses to the crime. He's a newcomer to this town and his professional reputation is on the line. Is this a case of infanticide or kidnapping? Life has become nearly unbearable for Dr. Grace McKenna. Her gorilla sign-language research project has been cut by the university, and her two intelligent, fun-loving gorillas—Neema and Gumu—are scheduled to go to auction like so much used equipment. When Neema repeats the same story about a baby crying, a snake, and a cucumber car, Grace realizes that there was one witness to Ivy's kidnapping. Will anyone believe a signing gorilla? Can Neema's cryptic clues actually solve the crime? |
