Description
Leslie Budewitz is back with another savory mystery waiting to be solved. . .
One persons treasure is anothers trash. . .
Pepper Reece, owner of the Spice Shop in Seattles Pike Place Market, wants nothing more than to live a quiet life for a change, running her shop and working with customers eager to spice up their cooking. But when she finds an envelope stuffed with cash in a ratty old wingback left on the curb, she sets out to track down the owner.
Pepper soon concludes that the chair and its stash may belong to young Talia Cook, new in town and nowhere to be seen. Boz Bosworth, an unemployed chef Peppers tangled with in the past, shows up looking for the young woman, but Pepper refuses to help him search. When Boz is found floating in the Ship Canal, only a few blocks from Talias apartment, free furniture no longer seems like such a bargain.
On the hunt for Talia, Pepper discovers a web of connections threatening to ensnare her best customer. The more she probes, the harder it gets to tell whos part of an unsavory scheme of corruptionand who might be the next victim.
Between her quest for an elusive herb, helping her parents remodel their new house, and setting up the Spice Shops first cooking class, Peppers got a full plate. Dogged by a sense of obligation to find the rightful owner of the hidden treasure, she keeps on showing up where shes not wanted, asking probing questions.
One mistake, and she could find herself cashing out. . .
