"Fun and witty whodunit."

Lacie Baxter, cheerful, sexy, gorgeous and Miss Kansas Summer Squash, has come up missing after making an appearance at Mercer's Drug Store. FBI agent Ben Camaglia is called in to work the case. Ben thinks this might be the big break that finally gets him out of the one-man office in Klaber Falls.

Just as Ben starts to investigate, Lacie reappears. As far as the town, and Lacie, are concerned, the case is closed. But Ben has other ideas and some potential suspects to be checked out. He wants to get to the bottom of who's out to hurt Lacie.

Lacie is attracted to Ben, who sends her senses into overload. He's also drawn to Lacie - her eyes, her lips, her beauty. Soon, secrets that have been hidden for years about Lacie's life start to emerge. As a result, she's forced to make some difficult choices, wondering if the love of her life will still be there at the end.

The small-town setting, as well as comic wit and a whodunit theme, make this a really fun story.
