Robbie Jordan is temporarily leaving Pans 'N Pancakes, her country
store in South Lick, Indiana, to visit Santa Barbara, California--where
wildfire smoke tinges the air, but a more immediate danger may lie in
wait . . .
While looking forward to her high school reunion back in California,
Robbie's anticipation is complicated by memories of her mother's
untimely death. At first, she has fun hanging out with her old
classmates and reuniting with the local flavors--avocados, citrus, fish,
and spicy Cali-Mex dishes. But then she gets wind of rumors that her
mother, an environmental activist, may not have died of natural causes.
With the help of friends, Robbie starts clearing the smoke surrounding
the mystery--but what she finds could make it hard to get back to
Indiana alive . . .
