Hail to the Chef
Julie Hyzy

White House executive Chef Ollie Paras has a lot on her plate, what with holiday meals to map out, the First Lady's matchmaking plans to deflect, safety classes to take, and terrorist plots ot avoid. Oh, and a senator's assistant has been begging Ollie to rig the countrywide gingerbread-man-decorating contest in favor of the senator's kids ...

Then a cautious, kindly electrician is electrocuted, and the First Lady's nephew doesn't show up for an important event when not twenty-four hours before he was happily cleaning shrimp with Ollie. Ollie suspects there's something going on that's fishier than shrimp cocktail. Now, she'll have to watch her back—and find a killer unlikely to be pardoned ...
