When murder strikes at a bread-making convention, Heaven Lee must rise to the occasion... Having overcome a series of failed careers, sassy sometime-sleuth Heaven Lee has found her own slice of paradise as a pre-eminent Kansas City chef. When the ARTOS (Greek for bread) convention comes to town, Heaven looks forward to nothing more than gathering some bread-making tips, but things start to heat up when one of her colleagues falls to his death from a grain elevator and another is found murdered in a pan of bread dough. Add to this recipe the startling fact that someone has tainted some of the convention's dough, causing its eaters to go temporarily insane, and Heaven's got more on her plate than most cooks can handle...
