sabotaging her kitchen and asks Hayley to investigate.
Things heat up fast when the restaurant is set on fire--and a body
is discovered in the charred wreckage. Is someone out to destroy
the chef's business--or actually kill her? Amid holiday festivities
like the lighted boat parade and visiting relatives who stir up
mixed emotions, Hayley needs to smoke out an arsonist and a killer
who may turn up the heat on her next...
