August in Lake Potawatomi, Wisconsin, always means one thing: the annual baking contest. And, of course, bon vivant baker-turned-mystery writer Teddie St. John has a pie in the ring. But then famously lecherous judge Les Morris is found dead in the baking tent, with Teddie's distinctive embossed rolling pin covered with blood at his side. A life sentence behind a lattice of prison bars will never do, and Teddie's quick wit and bohemian charm won't save her. So, with the help of her friends, she'll concoct a recipe to clear her name - if the real killer doesn't ice her first.
