Publisher's Notes
Fox Hollow Farm, a lush million-dollar suburban Indianapolis estate, had 18 acres of lawns, a fabulous swimming pool...and thousands of human bones buried in the yard. The piles of dismembered skeletons belonged to young men who had disappeared from the gay bars and cruising sites of this Midwest city.Their killer was Herb Baumeister, a beloved father and successful businessman who led a deadly double life. And until the day his young son dug up a buried skull, Herb's pretty wife Julie never dreamed he was Indiana's worst serial killer. She didn't know about the bizarre sexual encounters he held at the house when she went away with their kids...or about the brutal cravings that led him to kill.In this riveting account, two veteran journalists tell the uncensored story of Herb Baumeister--taking the reader into a psychopath's dark obsession to meet his victims, witness the rituals of sex and death he forced his victims to perform, and find out how his gruesome killing spree finally-shockingly--came to an end.

Mamas given name is Grace Covington, but everyone calls her Candi--for the honeyed color of her complexion, not her cooking (which is second to none from Otis all the way to Atlanta, where I work as a paralegal). I usually go home when I need some truly soul-satisfying eating. But this time I was heading back to Otis to help Mama after her bunion operation. I had no idea wed end up knee-deep in somebody elses trouble....It all seemed to start when Mama and I were shopping for groceries and crazy old Miss Birdie stole Cricket Childs tiny baby, causing a scene between the two women everyone in town heard about. It wasnt twenty-four hours later that Cricket, known as a lady who liked wild times and wilder men, turned up murdered in a fellows bed. Even worse, Crickets baby had vanished.To add to the chilling events, my Daddys wandering dog Midnight dug up something shocking: an infants skull. And not long after Mama rushed it over to Sheriff Abes office, Midnight brought home another. Naturally, he couldnt tell us where he got them...and the mystery deepened.So no way Mama wasnt going to start snooping. And with the doctor ordering her off her feet, I ended up doing some legwork. But its a good thing I still had two good feet, because before long, I was running for my life...as babies cries and women's tears mingled in a crime fueled by motives as ancient as human memory--greed, jealousy, and old-fashioned revenge.In Mama Rocks the Empty Cradle, Nora DeLoach captures the warmth of family life in the deep South...and the icy tingling of superb suspense. And in Mama she has created a woman sleuth as filled with compassion as courage, wise in the ways of the human heart--and the criminal mind.
