Book 1st edition with complete number line beginning with 1. Fine in fine dust jacket, not price clipped, in protective mylar cover. Arly Hanks, a small-town police chief in Maggody, Arkansas, is featured in the third title in this series. "Women's lib comes to Maggody, a sleepy little Ozarks town where the distaff side is supposed to keep its place. Unfortunately, the movement is accompanied by murder and other unpleasantness. Head bank teller Johnna Mae Nookim, sole support of her husband and children, finds herself demoted when returning to work after having her third child. She tries to get police chief Arly Hanks, seen before in Mischief in Maggody, to arrest the bank manager; when that fails, Johnna Mae appeals to Women Aligned Against Chauvinism in the Office (WAACO) and the group's lawyer, Carolyn McCoy-Grunders. The women of Maggody rally to the cause, picketing the bank as well as demanding their rights at home. In the middle of the demonstration, the bank catches fire; the body of the new head teller, Brandon Bernswallow--a scion of the family that owns the bank--is discovered in the ruins. Arly 's investigation finds financial irregularities at the bank, pointing to a number of employees who might have had an interest in eliminating Bernswallow, who was himself apparently a blackmailer..."--Publishers Weekly.
