THE BABY MERCHANTS
By
Lillian O'Donnell really settled down for the better when she found policewoman Norah Mulcahaney who, in this fourth time around, is mostly concerned with having or getting a baby. Providentially, too providentially, she's given a three-year-old to adopt and before long she and her husband Joe are threatened by another kind of Family--they want Joe to drop a narcotics-murder investigation. There's that, and all kinds of other people involved in the grey baby market from a doctor to a lawyer to an agency with disappearing personnel. Comfortably uncomfortable and not too softshelled for fathers as well as mothers.
