    If Santiago is NOT the spy, then why is he headed to jail? Can Megan find out the truth before it's too late?
     
    Summer is coming to an end at the picturesque seaside town of Seacrest, and with it comes a food truck festival like they've never seen before. Even Margaret gets in on the fad, setting up her own tea truck. But business is hardly booming, and it's left her in poor spirits.
     
    But for the moment, Megan has bigger problems. Santiago calls from jail, requesting that she come visit. However, when she does, their conversation makes no sense at all. Why would he use up their precious few minutes speaking gibberish? As Megan begins piecing it all together, she realizes he's just given her a BIG clue.
     
    With a clue comes a case, and with a case comes a plan... and a disguise... and a chase. But if Megan thought their villain had small-town intentions, she's in big-time trouble! In way over her head, she never imagined to what lengths a well-trained criminal would go. Before she realizes it, Fred is the target. And now, all bets are off... because Megan would do anything to get him back.
     
    Join Megan Henny and Fred as Megan inevitably gets them into trouble, and Fred stumbles over the solution. One fun, thrilling, chilling read with the salty wind in your face and a dark forest as your backdrop. Snuggle up... if you dare.
