Mystery
In Alexander Campion's witty debut, chic Parisian
policewoman Capucine LeTellier plunges into a uniquely
Parisian affair of gastronomic delights and bureaucratic
intrigue to close a case that could make her career--or kill
it. . . After dining on such delicacies as oyster sorbet and avocado
soufflé, Jean-Louis Delage, président of automotive giant
Renault, has been found dead in the freezer of Le Diapason,
a restaurant owned by Chef Jean-Basille Labrousse, a
renowned restaurateur extraordinaire. Capucine is uniquely suited to the case, as her husband
Alexandre is a food critic well-connected to the culinary
world. In between sharing sumptuous meals and fine wine with
Alexandre at some of Paris' finest eateries, Capucine
struggles to win the respect of her new squad of detectives
and crack both the case and the guarded secrets of the
restaurant staff. From the Champs-Élysées to the twinkling banks of la Seine,
The Grave Gourmet is a thrilling mystery gastronomique,
combining the allure of the Parisian haute cuisine
restaurant scene with corporate espionage and political
scandal in a dish that is très magnifique!
