Moving to Bath was supposed to be a fresh start. Until a corpse clutching the jack of clubs turns my shop into a deadly poker game.

How did my walk in the park end with dead bodies, poker hands, and me in the middle of the shuffle?

Unaffected by Detective Caleb's warnings, I’m determined to unmask the killer, with my Teacup Chihuahua, Teo, nose to the ground.

As cards and corpses stack up, each tied to Bath’s failed bakery co-op, my curiosity peaks.

Secrets rise like yeast, revealing a web of deceit and betrayal that's far from sweet. Local baker, Maisie, seems too kneaded into the mix. While gullible Lily, is caught in a heated argument that sounds deadly.

Yet all fingers point at Leon, who had the most to lose and a shady past.

As clues edge me closer to the truth, the threats warn me I’m shuffling straight into danger.

The ace of spades is marked with my name; I’ve become the final player. I need to call their bluff before I am dealt my demise.
