A Case for Solomon

In 1912, four-year-old Bobby Dunbar, the son of an upper-middle-class Louisiana family, went missing in the swamps. After an eight-month search, a boy's body was found, but it was hardly recognizable. A wandering piano tuner who had been shuttling a child throughout the region for months was arrested and charged with kidnapping because it was said that the boy with him was really Bobby Dunbar and the body in the swamps that of another boy. But when a destitute single mother came forward from North Carolina to claim the boy with the pianio tuner that she said was her son, not Bobby Dunbar, the case became a high-pitched battle over custody and identity.
