Turkey Trot Treason

When barista‑sleuth Madison Perkins reluctantly joins Steeplechases annual Turkey Trot, she expects chafing, frostbite, and maybe a bruised ego — not a front‑row seat to murder. Moments after firing the starting pistol, legendary coach and community tyrant Carter collapses on the platform, poisoned by his own kale smoothie. His dying words — *"Check the numbers"* — leave Madison tangled in a mystery involving missing charity funds, a vanished murder weapon, and a town ready to turn on her when the evidence lands in her trash can.

With Detective Gabe Miller torn between duty and the woman he cares for, a treasurer acting guiltier by the minute, and a turkey‑costumed menace named Mavis running crowd control, Madison must race to uncover the truth before she becomes the main course in someones Thanksgiving cover‑up.

A fast‑paced, funny, and delightfully twisty cozy mystery where the finish line might just be fatal.
