      Number one Los Angeles Times bestselling author and multiple-award winner Jerrilyn Farmer returns with another Mad Bean event, where murder and mayhem simmer together in a tantalizing mix. Event planner Madeline Bean is set to shine at the prestigious Jazz Ball for the Woodburn School of Music, showcasing her skills with a black-and-white-themed menu that delights L.A.'s elite. Amid the festivities, she contemplates a new romantic interest, charming trust-fund hunk Dexter Delano Wyatt, while grappling with the unexpected reappearance of her ex, LAPD Detective Chuck Honnett. However, chaos ensues as Mad faces a barrage of challenges: a celebrity meltdown, a vocal coach's outburst, and a fierce bidding war over a rare saxophone that nearly turns violent. When the prized instrument goes missing, Mad's troubles escalate. To make matters worse, she returns home to find a dead body in her bedroom, and Detective Honnett's attempts to rekindle their romance complicate her life further. Meanwhile, Dexter's shady past raises suspicions, and a mysterious red-haired stranger seems to be stalking her. As the theft of the saxophone spirals into lethal lunacy, Mad must navigate the madness before it drives her to the brink—or worse.
