AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Meg and Kevin Rowbotham have lost their three week old baby at the local supermarket. When Sergeant Bess Hardiperson, assisted by bumbling Constable Langbene White, comes to investigate, she is amazed by their seeming calmness and becomes suspicious. What follows is a cat and mouse game of hilarious proportions, involving no less than a re-enactment of Meg's non-textbook labour delivery.' (Back cover)
