Jane isn't exactly thrilled about heading into the wilds of Wisconsin with here best friend Shelley to check out a summer camp for city kids. But no one warned them just how wild the little adventure might be. A lack of electricity, ranting from a local loony, and the natural wonder of a cookout in the cold rain were bad enough. Nobody guessed that murder would be on the menu too.Alone at the remote campsite after their soggy supper, Jane and Shelley made a terrible discovery. Someone had used a heavy-duty frying pan to cook up a tasteless after-dinner murder, leaving the deadly culinary weapon on the ground next to the unfortunate victim. But by the time the crime was reported, the ingredients -- both pan and body -- had mysteriously vanished and the women's credibility was being seriously questioned. And when the "corpse" shows up, alive and well, without so much as a bump on the head, Jane knows she'd better investigate, before she's suspected of having a problem with her own head...and before someone gets away with a most bizarre recipe for murder. .
