Summary
After Iredell Mosby dies and son Percy is sent back to the South to keep him out of trouble, DeLilah and daughter Selma meet difficulties with resolve. Selma's baby, Chloe, is born against the backdrop of the kidnaping and murder of the infant son of the nation's dashing young aviator, Charles Lindbergh. Then Chloe goes missing - but her disappearance does not draw the same attention. Weldon Haynie Thomas, the city's first "colored" policeman, takes the case. With nuanced characters and a lyrical voice, Gone Missing in Harlem affirms the restorative powers of home and family
