A famous chef is stabbed to death in his own kitchen. Could an argument over how to bake stuffed tomatoes lead to murder? This is Greece, so anything is possible. John Xiros Cooper has set the table for Captain Panos Akritas and his partner Lieutenant Valia Sternatia to catch the perpetrator who’s cooked up this mystery. The youngest of the chef’s three daughters is accused of carving up her Michelin-starred father. She insists she’s innocent. But the evidence points to her guilt. Xiros Cooper has served up a spicy recipe of simmering excitement. The story has many twists and turns, memorable characters, several more corpses, and a gangster with the head that resembles a lizard. There’s also a love story that turns sour. The surprising finale, when the wrongdoers get their just desserts, completes this feast of a tale! Kalí órexi!
