Over the Edge: Every dish is precision. Every emotion is chaos. Every course is to die for.

By Stephen Kelly

"Over the Edge is a stand-out work. Bold, lyrical, and unsettling, Kelly takes risks with structure and psychology and brings sharp instincts and emotional intelligence to the page."

When a double homicide leads detective Cara LaRoche into the heart of New Orleans' underground dining scene, she doesn't expect Julien Marchand-the reclusive chef at the heart of it all with Michelin-starred brilliance and secrets sharper than his knives.

Julien is enigmatic, haunted, magnetic-and hiding something.

As Julien's magnum opus unfolds, seven courses themed on the stages of grief, Cara's investigation into his ultra-exclusive restaurant, Les D lices Violents (The Violent Delights), tangles with temptation. Cara's obsession with uncovering Julien's past threatens to consume them both, like two predators stalking each other from opposite sides of the flame.

But some secrets don't want to be found. And some men don't want salvation.

For readers of psychological thrillers, not procedural mystery purists. Like Se7en, Zodiac, Gone Girl, & The House That Jack Built, Over the Edge is a sexy, slow-burn psychological thriller about forbidden desire and the lies we tell ourselves to survive.
