It’s a recipe for disaster when bookbinder Brooklyn
Wainwright is asked to restore an antique cookbook….
Brooklyn has always been a little obsessed with food, but it
was her sister Savannah who became a chef, graduating from
the prestigious Cordon Bleu school in Paris. She and her
classmates all went on to successful careers, but none of
them achieved culinary superstardom like Savannah’s
ex-boyfriend Baxter Cromwell.
When Baxter invites the old gang to participate in his new
restaurant’s gala opening in San Francisco, Savannah looks
forward to seeing her friends, and even asks Brooklyn to
restore a tattered cookbook—an old gift from Baxter—as a
present for him. But Brooklyn immediately recognizes that
the book, which has strange notes and symbols scrawled in
the margins, is at least two hundred years old. She thinks
that it probably belongs in a museum, but Savannah insists
on returning it to Baxter.
Shortly after receiving the gift, Baxter is found dead, with
Savannah kneeling over him, bloody knife in hand, and the
rare cookbook has disappeared. Brooklyn knows her sister
didn’t kill him, and she suspects the missing cookbook might
lead to the real villain. Now Brooklyn will have to turn up
the heat on the investigation before Chef Savannah finds
herself slinging hash in a prison cafeteria.
