Pie Guy: An Outsider Gets an Inside Look

Indulgence and ingnorance ...

Dennis "Dezmo" Moreland grew up on the streets of Chicago, and he's had his share of trouble, even if he's learned how to stay out of it.

When he's caught up in a bad investment, and his best friend and business partner owes him the money to get out of it, driving in the car for several hours after a shake-down is worth the trouble. But when he arrives in Fairmont, the last thing he expects is to be caught in the middle of the town pie contest, with its battling egos, family drama, and possible murder.

He's an outsider, with an up-close and personal look ... and now all he wants to do is look away, and then run away.

Life of Pies is a 12-part novella series inspired by A Gathering of Old Men, As I Lay Dying, and pie-style murder mysteries from C. S. Johnson.
