This tale of a pot grower in peril is "as cockeyed and riotous as Carl Hiaasen on really good dope" (Kirkus Reviews).

Miro Basinas is an experimental botanist who sells his rarefied product to a discerning clientele. Only Miro is not growing heirloom tomatoes or making organic wine -- he's growing weed. And when Miro hits the big time by winning Amsterdam's famed Cannabis Cup, cannasseurs and ganjaficionados aren't the only people who want a piece of him and his mind-blowing pot that tastes like mangoes -- and Miro is quickly hit with a bullet.

A mild-mannered hipster who doesn't know the first thing about revenge -- or even who shot him -- Miro is soon on a quest to recover his prize invention and to secure his place as the Floyd Zaiger (creator of the pluot) of weed. It's a journey packed with a delicious cast of characters, including a string-theory obsessed cop, a kinky paramedic, a Mormon missionary struggling to keep his "sap" under control in a city that is the personification of sex, a half-Irish-half-Salvadoran drug dealer and his dim-witted associates, a cougar starlet, and an entrepreneur who wants to turn his medical marijuana Compassion Centers into the Starbucks of pot. Baked is a hilarious, rip-roaring romp from a talented, utterly original novelist.

"Very funny... A sweet love story, raunchy sex, outrageous behavior, and a couple of murders." -- The Boston Globe

"Murder, mayhem, marijuana and Mormons -- what more could you ask for in a crime novel?" -- Lisa Lutz, New York Times-bestselling author of The Spellman Files and The Passenger
