  🎃 The annual Harvest Fair in the small, agricultural town of Podunk is famous for one thing: its giant vegetable competition. This year, all eyes are on farmer Clem's colossal pumpkin, a surefire winner. But the festivities turn fatal when the notoriously petty and biased judge, Herb Crust, takes one bite of a complimentary pumpkin muffin and drops dead. The cause: a rare, fast-acting pesticide. The prime suspect is Clem's granddaughter, Maya, who baked the muffins and had a very public argument with Herb after he unfairly disqualified her sunflowers last year. To clear her name and save her family's farm from a scandal, Maya must dig into the dirt of the competitive growing world. With help from her pot-bellied pig, Gourd-on, and a disgraced botanist seeking redemption, she uncovers a fertilizer-fueled underbelly of the competition. From sabotaged seedlings and stolen growth formulas to blackmail and a decades-old grudge over a legendary, now-missing, prize-winning tomato, the roots of this crime run deep. Can Maya weed out the real killer before the fair closes and the culprit vines their way to freedom?

  Extortion in Blood - Harvest of...

  The produce market throughout history remains a carnival of characters and occasional chaos. First, it operates at night from midnight through the dawn hours, winding down midafternoon. The upside-down cycle of activity is out of sync with the rest of life’s reality. Under the glare of lights shrouded by darkness, the loud banter and frenetic atmosphere is further embellished by the products and the people. The latter cast of characters are so diverse and sometimes unbelievable, that it defies easy description. The working crew alone is a treasure trove of humanity each with a compelling story of hardship, struggle, heartache, sadness, comical joy and even dark humor. Mingled and mixed among them, in the shadows, are the insidious elements of organized crime, mystery and intrigue.

  "The Adventure of the Three Students", one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is one of 13 stories in the cycle collected as The Return of Sherlock Holmes.
  Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson find themselves in a university town when a tutor and lecturer of St Luke's College, Mr. Hilton Soames, brings him an interesting problem. Soames had been reviewing the galley proofs of an exam he was going to give when he left his office for an hour. When he returned, he found that his servant, Bannister, had entered the room but accidentally left his key in the lock when he left, and someone had disturbed the exam papers on his desk and left traces that show it had been partially copied. Bannister is devastated and collapses on a chair, but swears that he did not touch the papers. Soames found other clues in his office: pencil shavings, a broken pencil lead, a fresh cut in his desk surface, and a small blob of black clay speckled with sawdust.
