Avid quilter, curator, and reluctant sleuth Benni Harper is back, this time joined by her grandmother Dove and her great-aunt Garnet for the San Celina County Mid-State Fair! There is already controversy in the form of Levi Clark, the Fair's first black general manager, and his daughter's many suitors. But things turn sinister fast when a priceless quilt is stolen from one exhibit and a corpse turns up in another, and of course it is up to Benni to solve the crime.
