When Heaven Lee is judging the barbeque contest, trouble seems to stick to her apron. Although she's Kansas City's premier restaurateur and a helluva barbeque queen, this time around Heaven Lee is just a judge at the Barbeque World Series. But that doesn't stop her from getting in the soup. And that's just where Heaven finds herself when she discovers the upended body of champion barbeque cooker and giant pain Pigpen Hopkins sticking out of a potent pot of his extra-special secret barbeque sauce. Unfortunately, Heaven has had problems with the law before, and even though she came out clean, this is one sticky mess that's hard to explain. With the town up to its ears in high-rolling barbeque experts, the prize money is enough to send anyone gunning for the top spot. But when someone takes a shot at Heaven in the dark of night and then aims for a celebrated cookbook author, the competition is more than tough-it's murder.… (more)

Epigraph
Dedication
In loving memory of Stephanie Hoffman Jacobson, a Kansas City original.
I really am a member of a charity cooking team named the Que Queens and I thank my team members for allowing me to use our team name in this book. As do the fictional queens, the real life Que Queens also cook to benefit Harvester's, the Kansas City food bank. I highly recommend getting involved with your local food distribution network. No one should go to bed hungry in America.
Thanks to the Kansas City Barbeque Society: they let me make a pest of myself one whole season:
Thanks also to the IBCA, who let me see how they do it, Texas-style
LInda Price did invaluable work on this story. she helped create order where there was chaos.
First words
