Death by Devil's Breath — Kylie Logan

Cold-blooded murder can be hot as hell...

In Las Vegas, the stakes are high -- and so is the Scoville scale. Maxie Pierce and the Chili Showdown are in town for a very heated contest devoted to judging the legendary and notorious-for-being-self-combustible Devil's Breath chili. The guest judges are casino performers with a taste for chili and an eye for publicity.

Maxie is already going mad organizing the event, dealing with her snide half sister, Sylvia, and trying to figure out her hothead of security, Nick. But when a local hack comedian drops dead in the middle of the Showdown, it isn't the spicy dish -- it's poison. And Maxie is going to have to shuffle through a full deck of suspects to pick out the culprit.
