Murder's on the menu in this savory debut.
Gwen (nee Katz) Silver heard the brisket at her uncle's Jewish deli, Murray the Pastrami Swami--the only one of its kind in Nashville, Tennessee--was "to die for." But she didn't realize that meant literally. . .
When Gwen learns she's inherited Murray's, the native New Yorker leaves her chaotic career and messy divorce behind to start over in Nashville. But the venture seems doomed from the start. Murray's taken his recipes and secret list of food suppliers to the grave with him, and ruthless real estate developer Royce Sinclair will stop at nothing to try and sandwich Murray's into his already overstuffed portfolio. Then, on Kosher Karaoke Night, longtime customer Buster Sergeant bites into his brisket. . .and bites the dust. The coroner says food poisoning, but Gwen's not convinced. Now, with the help of hunky police detective Beau McClintock, "Nashville Katz"--as Gwen is quickly nicknamed--will find herself adding "private investigator" to her resume--and a new love to her life.

A Brisket, A Casket
Chapter One
"Hey, watch it. Ya'll almost knocked over my babka!""Did not."
"What you mean, Jimmy? I saw you bump the babka. Makes you the second person tonight."
"There you go again. A bump's a whole 'nother thing from knockin' it over. Besides, how come you're only on my case if somebody else did it too?"
"'Cause you're the one's here right now. And the one who ought to know better."
"Since when's ignorance an excuse, Newt?"
"Never mind. Bump my babka before the dough rises, you might as well knock it to the floor. Ain't nobody wants a flat babka."
"Saying that's true, for argument's sake. If it already got bumped twice on that there counter, maybe you should think about makin' some kinda change."
"Like what?"
"Like puttin' put your babkas someplace else."
"Like where?"
"Like anyplace except where they block the way to my machine ..."
Turning from my office stairs-they were in the kitchen near its swing doors-I stared at the roast pig that should have been a pastrami and tried to ignore my bickering staffers. Newton Trout was the restaurant's head cook and baker. Jimmy DuHane was my dishwasher. Their nonstop arguments could be annoying at the best of moments, and I was a certified wreck.
