Summary
Blowback
When France's top chef, Marc Fraysse, summoned the world's press to make a shattering announcement, rumors abounded that he was about to lose one of his three coveted Michelin stars. Â Instead, on arrival at his remote restaurant on a volcanic plateau in central France, they were greeted with the news that the troubled genius had been murdered, and the message he intended to deliver was never made. Â Seven years on, the identity of his killer also remains an enigma. Â Enzo Macleod takes on his fifth cold case and delves into the big business and high stakes of French haute cuisine. Â As winter sets in, and snow gathers along a volcanic horizon, he retraces long cold footsteps across a remote hilltop. Â But unravelling the complex web of relationships that surrounded the brilliant and mercurial chef - a spurned lover, a jealous wife, an estranged brother, an embittered food critic--also leads to strange parallels with his own life. Â And in opening up this celebrated cold case, he finds himself reopening old wounds from his past.
