A bad meal is a misdemeanor but going to bed hungry is the biggest crime of all. Ten short story authors have joined forces to write humorous crime stories containing some of their favorite Thanksgiving dishes. From murder to theft to bank heists, these authors have whipped up stories to tickle your funny bone, feed your urge for a good crime and make you a bit hungry in the process. Not to be outdone, Lisa Lynn provides the perfect accompaniment with recipes that people can make for the holidays using the basic staples found in nearly every home or from your local food bank. Thanks to the publisher’s “Misti Gives Back” program, 100% of the net proceeds of the sales of this title will be split evenly among each of the contributors’ local Second Harvest Food Bank (a member of Feeding America) to help raise money to feed those most in need and at risk. If a contributor does not have a Second Harvest in their area, their share will go directly to Feeding America. Your purchase(s) ensure that more people will have access to food this holiday season and beyond.

A Humorous Crime Anthology to Benefit Second Harvest Food Bank

The Perp Wore Pumpkin

A party at the home of a wealthy couple to celebrate the recent acquisition of a valuable painting results in the painting's theft from a locked room under constant observation, and the subsequent murder of one of the guests. Is the culprit a legendary master thief out for revenge? Darnell, a no-nonsense private detective and Alan Driscoll, a college professor turned bartender, team up to investigate in this whodunit/howdunit. Plus an article about how the novelette came to be written: "Writing THE PLAY OF LIGHT AND SHADOW." Mystery fans who enjoy the "impossible crime" stories of writers like John Dickson Carr, Paul Halter, and Edward D. Hoch should find this one appealing. "A beautifully-realized classic "locked room mystery" that both intrigues and plays fair with the reader. Ergang is an elegant writer who depicts a character's traits with a simple but effective description, necessary in a shorter work if the story is to come alive for the reader. Highly recommended!" --Dennis Palumbo: novelist/screenwriter and author of the Daniel Rinaldi mysteries. "Highly readable and enjoyable."--Dave Zeltserman, multi-award-winning author (http: //tinyurl.com/43yjjbs).
