Hot Dogs and Homicide: A Traveling Food Truck with Dog Cozy Mystery

About Hot Dogs and Homicide: A Traveling Food Truck with Dog Cozy Mystery

Sometimes a food truck serves up more than just hot dogs... When gourmet hot dog vendor Delilah Frank and her clever Jack Russell terrier Pickle roll into Port Harmon for the annual Summer Fair, they're expecting festive crowds and brisk business. Instead, they find a picturesque coastal town simmering with rivalry, secrets, and decades-old grudges.

The arrival of celebrity chef Benedict Walsh—with his handlebar mustache and caustic critiques—immediately stirs up trouble. When he's found dead next to a partially eaten pastry, Delilah's instincts tell her this is no unfortunate allergic reaction. Someone in Port Harmon had a recipe for murder, and executed it to perfection.

As the newest arrival in town, Delilah has a unique outsider's perspective. Between serving up her creative hot dog specials and letting Pickle charm the locals, she begins collecting ingredients for solving the case: a librarian with unexpected culinary knowledge, a nervous young baker mysteriously disqualified from last year's competition, financial discrepancies in the fair's books, and a competition judge who seemed to savor making enemies. When threatening notes appear and her food truck is ransacked, Delilah realizes she's getting too close to the truth.

With Pickle's uncanny ability to sniff out both evidence and "bad guys," can this unlikely detective duo solve the case before the killer serves up a second course?
