'Mama Doc' (3 Parts) by Maggie Allen

While visiting a toy fair with his two children, Doctor MacDonald is kidnapped by a fake policeman, and later on, Chas witnesses the same policeman steal a doll from the children. MacDonald’s colleague, Professor Darian, seeks Mr. Sweet and Tarot’s help in locating the missing doctor; but when he then calls at a dolls’ hospital run by the eccentric Mama Doc, he too is captured by the bogus policeman. Learning that Darian has now disappeared, Mr. Sweet decides to visit the dolls’ hospital, while Mikki seeks information about dolls from a woman named Posy Peagram; however, after she leaves in her car, Mikki is stopped by the fake police officer, actually Mama Doc’s henchman Bobby, and taken prisoner. Tarot and Chas discover that Mama Doc is using a special drug that turns people into living dolls so that they can join her ‘family’; while the two of them make plans to stop the insane plan, Mr. Sweet becomes part of a bizarre and disturbing tea party with Mama Doc’s latest dolls: Mikki, Doctor MacDonald and Professor Darian…
