Goldy, already juggling 40 pounds of catering fare, becomes a reluctant sleuth as the police probe deeper. Clues point to the protest group, a mysterious exotic flower, and the company’s million‑dollar cosmetics counter. The case escalates when another murder occurs and Goldy herself is attacked—reinforcing that the threat is personal.
