"As owner of April Springs's one and only donut shop, Suzanne Hart is privy to the deliciously personal, downright eccentric tastes of her customers. When one order -- crullers heavy on the icing -- isn't picked up, a tall dark stranger buys the whole box. Which he tosses, one drippy cruller at a time, at her friend Gabby's storefront next door. The man claims that stolen family valuables ended up in Gabby's thrift shop. Suzanne wants to call the cops. But when he turns up dead outside the donut shop, the cops come calling for her and Gabby" -- Cover verso.
