A hit-and-run “accident”… a ghost from the past… and one unpaid debt that’s about to boil over.

When San Borromeo kicks off its summer festival season with near-daily parades, picnics, and concerts leading to the July 4th finale, Beanblossom’s Tea & Tarot is the coziest spot on the beach. Abigail pours perfectly steeped rooibos, her partner Hyperion reads Tarot cards that actually help, and his cat bosses everyone around—until a woman from Abigail’s past is found dead on the street, weeks before the 4th.

Now, Abigail owes a debt she never settled. The only way to pay it is to team up with her quirky gang of amateur sleuths, meddling relatives, and eccentric locals. Together they dive into a puzzle of small-town secrets, red-white-and-blue alibis, and whispered scandals.

But every steeped cup uncovers another layer of betrayal, and the closer they get to the truth, the more the killer seems determined to make Abigail’s own independence day her last.

Can this ragtag crew unmask the killer before the fireworks explode—or will Hyperion’s final reading predict liberty… and justice… for none?
