Things are looking up for single mom Colbie Summers. After relocating back to her California hometown with her adolescent son and taste-testing feline, Trouble, she's ready to take her gourmet cat food company to the next level. Until helping a teenager gets Colbie mixed up in a fresh case of murder... Trying to balance her hectic family life with her growing business--including a coveted contract with the local organic food store--leaves Colbie scrambling to keep all her balls in the air. But when a Sunnyside resident is found dead in his garage, she takes on a new role: harboring a suspected killer. The eighteen-year-old murder suspect, a former foster kid and Colbie's part-time chef, had a powerful motive to snuff out the high-profile businessman. The real question is, who didn't? Sifting through the victim's sordid history unearths a cat's cradle of crimes, including money laundering and abuse. Now, to clear an innocent girl's name, Colbie must sniff out the truth before a killer who smells trouble goes on the attack again.
