Claire Conover is back in the sequel to Little Lamb Lost. She has taken a 13-year-old girl into custody after the girl is found sleeping behind a grocery store. After the girl's murdered mother is found at a construction site owned by a family friend, the girl disappears. Her mother worked in an illegal gambling industry in Birmingham. Things only get more complicated from there. Is it possible the girl pulled the trigger? She doesn't have a lot of street smarts, so where could she have run? Claire has to find the answers, and the girl, fast. Author Margaret Fenton was herself a social worker, and she brings both legitimacy and experience to the this series. Her protagonist has been described as "a perfect blend of cockeyed optimist and streetwise fighter" by J. Michael Orenduff, author of the Lefty Award winning Pot Thief mysteries and Amazon #1 seller. And Publishers Weekly said, "Fenton puts her experiences as a social worker to good use. She may do for Birmingham what Margaret Maron has done for rural North Carolina." Booklist wrote "A relentless social worker makes an intriguing amateur sleuth, and Birmingham offers a fresh take on the New South as a setting for crime fiction. Fenton has set the stage for a promising new series." Claire
