Digging Up Momma
(The letter that arrived from Sam’s mother was postmarked ...)
The letter that arrived from Sam’s mother was postmarked Santa Fe, penned in her mother’s handwriting, and disclosed details only Johanna Adams could know. There was just one catch: Johanna Adams had been dead for thirty-four years. The mind-blowing missive could have been an entry from Sam’s latest book of bizarre anecdotes, American Weird – or an elaborate hoax. Either way, it instantly rekindled Sam’s impossible wish that her mother hadn’t really died in a plane crash when Sam was a child. Fueled by her journalistic instincts – and a daughter’s need for closure – Sam touches down among Santa Fe’s tourists and crystal gazers, jewelry shops and fast-food stands. But only when she summons the courage to knock on the door of Room 409 at the La Fonda Hotel does her surreal, mother-seeking adventure take off with no turning back.

These dozen stories, collected here for the first time, will delight the legions of fans of Shankman’s Samantha Adams series who’ve long admired her wit, her colorful characters, her finely honed relish for revenge, and her winning ways with words. This daring daughter of the South reimagines Watergate’s Deep Throat, writes a recipe for poisoning a journalist who went one step too far, and devastatingly describes the misery of living beneath a noisy neighbor…and the deadly consequences that that ever-so-rude clomp, clomp, clomping so richly deserves.
