Mehitabel is so busy running her new cafe, she doesn't have time for the gossip swirling around town about the mysterious stranger who just moved to town. According to what she could catch from her employees, he was either a traveling magician or a spy sent to catch an alien that had escaped from a government facility.
All Mehitabel knows is he shows up every day at 11:19 on the dot, and he loves her famous apple pie à la mode.
But when he collapses suddenly and dies after trying a big bite of the special recipe she is working on, she has to find out who he really was in order to find out who killed him - before she ends up in prison herself.
