__

My mom signs me up to be a judge at Wisconsin's Inaugural Hometown Guy Contest. I picture traveling home for the 4th of July weekend for some fun in the sun.

I didn't picture some idiot murdering Frank Plank, our local 'Hometown Guy' as well as the boy I used to babysit. Didn't plan on being up to my twitchy eyeballs investigating pageant suspects. Didn't realize the local detective's been crushing on me for years. 

But then Frank's ghost wants me to find his murderer and I can't say no. But Frank's not the only person the killer has in his sights. How dicey can this trip home get?
