The Taste of Trouble: A Culinary Crime Novel

By Christian Thormose

A failing restaurant. A deadly conspiracy.

A chef caught in the middle.

When chef and restaurant consultant Alex Dupree is hired to discreetly investigate a struggling restaurant's finances, he expects a routine job. Instead, he stirs up a dangerous recipe of deception, betrayal, and murder.

As Alex digs deeper, it becomes clear that someone will kill to keep the truth buried. Alex finds an unexpected ally who helps him unravel a riddle tied to a secret recipe-one worth far more than its ingredients-and he quickly realizes he's racing against time to connect the clues before he becomes the next target.

Can Alex solve the mystery before he gets eighty-sixed-permanently?
