Philly Stakes — Gillian Roberts

With Christmas fast approaching, Amanda Pepper's class of spoiled prep-school brats have given schoolwork the heave-ho. As a lesson in the true holiday spirit, Amanda plans to have her students cook and serve a meal to the homeless. But the simple meal turns into a catered gourmet feast for sixty-five homeless citizens, uppercrust family members--and one festive murderer. Helped by C.K. Mackenzie, cop and sometime boyfriend, Amanda is determined to solve the crime and teach the elusive killer a lesson.
