Witchy Woman

Written by Steve Brewer

Narrated by Gene Engene

Bubba thinks his gravy train has finally come in when he's hired by the Ogletroops, to spirit daughter Margaret out of a new age compound called WOMB. It's hard to investigate a women-only commune when you're a man. But then nothing comes easy for "soft-boiled" private eye Bubba Mabry. When murder strikes at WOMB, Bubba is elevated from simple trespasser to number one suspect. But Bubba has suspects of his own. Could the murderer be Luna, the earthy witch who controls WOMB? Or could it be the stranger in the rattling truck who tried to run Bubba down?
