Mystery Historical
Investigative team Blake and Avery find themselves
entangled in a case involving political conflicts, personal
vendettas, and England’s first celebrity chef. London, 1842. Captain William Avery is persuaded to
investigate a mysterious and horrible death at the Reform,
London’s newest and grandest gentleman’s club—a death the
club is desperate to hush up. What he soon discovers is a
web of rivalries and hatreds, both personal and political,
simmering behind the club’s handsome façade. At the center
is its resident genius, Alexis Soyer, “the Napoleon of
food,” a chef whose culinary brilliance is matched only by
his talent for self-publicity. But Avery is distracted, for where is his mentor and partner
in crime Jeremiah Blake? And what if this first death is
only a dress rehearsal for something far more sinister?
