Synopsis

A mystery of rival ice cream shops in a small town in middle America. Jerry, a California surfer, returns to his home town and opens an ice cream shop where he is giving away his ice cream. This threatens Mary owner of the only other ice cream shop in town with disaster until there is a murder in Jerry's shop. Mary find herself reluctantly trying to prove that Jerry didn't kill anyone, although she thought of killing him to save her shop, and Jerry ends up working beside her in her ice cream shop. The plot continues to become more and more complicated as Jerry's friends from California show up carrying drugs and threats. Between the "war" and the murder things are getting as sticky as fudge in a hot July day with four year old murders adding to the mystery. Soon it looks like Jerry and Mary will be the next victims if they are not arrested by the DEA first.

About this title

From the Author

One of the most enjoyable novel I have written.  The characters were fun to work with and (I jest but little here) practically wrote the book themselves.  The Ice Cream War is seriously looking for a sequel now.

From the Back Cover

People have eaten ice cream and people have fought wars, but have people ever fought a war over ice cream?       Mary and Jerry are doing just that except that Jerry doesn't seem to realize ther is a war going on.  He is giving away his ice cream after all so what is there to fight about?  That means Mary's ice cream shop is empty however; until someone ends up shot to death in Jerry's shop, and Mary finds herself reluctantly trying to prove that Jerry didn't do the shooting. 

It's July though, and it's hot, so no one can fight a war and eat ice cream at the same time.  Not for very long anyway.  Mary and Jerry can't and they don't.
