A little competition can be a healthy thing… Or it can be murder. Business is booming for no-nonsense café owner, Rita Masnik. Locals and tourists alike seem to love both the new healthy and delicious pita options on the revised menu, as well as the ultra-decadent Elvis Presley choices. When Rita’s rival from down the block comes in to confront her about being offended by her new ideas, Rita’s first thought is to send him packing, but she bites back the impulse to snap and instead sends him off with good wishes and a Hound Dog special. After hours that night, the rival’s business burns to the ground, and he’s found dead. At first, police think that he succumbed to smoke inhalation, but other facts come to light that focus their attention squarely on Bantu, Rita’s chef. With her business and a dear friend’s freedom on the line, Rita springs into action to solve a case that may lead to her destruction if she can’t find the answers in time. With everything on the line, Rita gives her all…and discovers that she may be next on killer’s list.
