Mahalia's Sweet Tea boasts the most flavorful soul food in all of Prince George's county, Maryland. But as events at the beauty industry's leading trade show turn ugly, owner Halia Watkins needs to bite into an unsavory new item on the menu--murder!
When the chicest hair convention of the year gets cooking in town, so does business at Mahalia's Sweet Tea. As buzz builds around beauty mogul and pop culture icon Monique Dupree, collard greens start moving out of the kitchen faster than models strutting down the catwalk. But the glitz fades the moment Monique is found shot to death. The entrepreneur's vanity empire was stained by bitter rivalries, explosive affairs, and backstabbers scheming for fame and fortune. Halia and her cousin Wavonne rush to discover who pulled the trigger, before the conniving culprit dishes another deadly surprise. -- adapted from jacket
