    <![CDATA[This first novel in Maron's Imperfect series, which won the Edgar Award for best mystery novel in 1993, introduces heroine Deborah Knott, an attorney and the daughter of an infamous North Carolina bootlegger. Known for her knowledge of the region's past and popular with the locals, Deb is asked by 18-year-old Gayle Whitehead to investigate the unsolved murder of her mother Janie, who died when Gayle was an infant. While visiting the owner of the property where Janie's body was found, Deb learns of Janie's more-than-promiscuous past. Piecing together lost clues and buried secrets Deb is introduced to Janie's darker side, but it's not until another murder occurs that she uncovers the truth. ]]>

    <![CDATA[With a steamy Southern plot and a sassy new heroine, this Edgar Award winning novel debuts an exceptional new series. Attorney Deborah Knott is North Carolinas answer to V.I. Warshawski, a legal sleuth with a knack for sniffing out the most baffling crimes. Deborah has just done the unthinkableentered the heated race for judge of old-boy-ruled Colleton County. The only female candidate, shes busy reeling in voters and giving campaign speeches. There couldnt be a worse time for Gayle Whitehead to beg Deborah to investigate the 18-year-old, unsolved murder of Gayles mother, Janie. Gayle wants the busy attorney to poke around for any new clues the police may have missed all these years. Unlikely, thinks Deborah; until she discovers that not all the details of Janies case made it out of confidential police files. Filled with the patter of Southern voices and populated with a cast of colorful characters, Bootleggers Daughter expertly unwinds a funny, cunningly-crafted tale of mystery and deceit in North Carolinas backwoods]]>
