Fried Pies and Blood Money

By Kristin Sumpter

Every town has its secrets.
This caf refuses to keep them.

In a quiet Arkansas mill town, the coffee is strong, the fried pies are fresh...and the truth is far more dangerous than anyone is willing to admit.

Milltown Caf sits at the center of it all. By day, it's a place of comfort. Familiar faces. Quiet conversation. The kind of place where everyone knows your name.

But by night... the whispers begin.

When tensions rise and long-buried secrets begin to surface, suspicion spreads quickly through the town. Money changes hands. Loyalties shift. And what once felt like a close-knit community begins to unravel.

Because in Milltown, not everything is as it seems.

And someone is willing to kill to keep it that way.

Set against the gritty backdrop of 1930s Arkansas, Fried Pies and Blood Money is a gripping small-town mystery filled with atmosphere, tension, and heart-where faith is tested, truth comes at a cost, and every choice carries consequences.
