Hannah Swensen prepares batches of cinnamon rolls for the Weekend Jazz Festival when the Cinnamon Roll Six's tour bus crashes outside Lake Eden. Keyboard player Buddy Neiman walks away from the wreck with what seem like minor injuries. Then someone drives surgical scissors into his chest. Hannah discovers that Buddy Neiman was not the victim's real name. No one knows his true identity or what he was hiding. The mystery deepens as Hannah searches for clues about who this man really was and why someone wanted him dead. She must piece together the victim's secret past while tracking down a killer who strikes close to home. Hannah faces a puzzle where the victim himself is the biggest unknown, but she remains determined to deliver justice.
