About the book
> East Weesit had been down on hard times until prosperity arrived one foggy day in the form of millionaire baker Phineas Banbury. The townsfolk should have been grateful for his benevolence, but something was wrong. Someone wanted to damage him enough to poison all the tarts he had made for the church benefit. Then someone tried to make Banbury look guilty for the murder of selectman Abner Grove, found drowned on dry land. It was time to call in Asey Mayo.
