Oak Haven is ready to celebrate Independence Day. and Lou Ellsworth has the bread booth humming with flag focaccia, pans of red, white, and blue cornbread, and baskets of rolls with colorful butter.

Late that night he is hit by a car and left on the roadside. Lou’s foster child witnesses the crash and becomes the one person who can say what really happened.
Lou’s first job is protection. Then she quietly retraces the evening along the parade route and through the park. There are gaps in schedules, a golf cart that was ‘borrowed,’ and a truck that reappears after the crowd goes home. With Bruiser and Brown nosing out small details, Lou sifts rumor from fact and follows the path that leads to the truth.
Comforting, clever, and Southern at heart, this cozy murder mystery puts family first and justice close behind.
