When hot dogs meet cold cases, the results are murder...

Food truck owner Delilah Frank and her clever Jack Russell terrier Pickle are looking forward to a peaceful visit to Little Cheddar, Wisconsin, for the famous Annual Cheese Festival. But when a heated rivalry between traditional cheesemaker Marco Bellini and his innovative former apprentice Trevor Miller turns deadly, Delilah finds herself in the middle of another mystery.

After Trevor is found stabbed with Marco's ceremonial cheese knife, the evidence against Marco seems overwhelming. But Delilah's instincts—and Pickle's uncanny nose for trouble—tell them there's more fermenting beneath the surface of this quaint Wisconsin town.

As Delilah serves up her gourmet hot dog creations, she uncovers a decades-old conspiracy involving suspicious competition judging, family rivalries, and secret financial arrangements that have shaped Little Cheddar's cheese dynasty for generations. When someone breaks into her food truck looking for evidence and leaves threatening messages carved into cheese wheels, Delilah realizes she's getting too close to the truth.

With help from elderly cheese judge Agnes Palmer, Sheriff Grace Lawson (who's determined to keep Delilah out of police business), and a cast of colorful local characters, Delilah must separate the curds from the whey to find a killer before she becomes the next victim.
