Chapter 1.

In the quiet town of Elmswood, people are dying... in alphabetical order.
It's an open secret. A terrifying pattern no one dares question-until Dr. Field, the scientist who discovered the sequence, is murdered out of turn.

Bella Katy, a broke, overworked waitress with no detective training, an addiction to conspiracy threads, and an unfortunate habit of being in the wrong place at the worst possible time.

One wrong food order. One hidden clue. That's all it takes to drag her into a deadly puzzle of coded menus, shadowy suspects, and corpses that refuse to stay in line.

Can Katy solve the case before the list reaches her name?
Or is this the one order she won't survive?
