Maggie Miller's attempt to run from her troubles leads her to Table
Rock, Arizona, her own beignet cafe ...and disaster. Welcome to
Table Rock, Arizona, the place where folks who aren't too keen on
the 'mainstream' move to. Maggie Miller has come here to forget
about her dead husband. OK, so he isn't really dead. That's just
what she tells everybody. Recently divorced, Maggie flees Phoenix
and the sight of her husband and his new wife and moves to Table
Rock to be closer to her own family. She's also planning on opening
her own beignet and coffee business, Maggie's Beignet Cafe. But
that dead guy in her storeroom might just put a kink in her plans.
Unless she can figure out who killed him, and why, she might never
open for business ...

killed Nancy. But has someone taken advantage of the spookiest
night of the year to commit a brutal murder . . .?
