''Criminally good ... I love this mystery series - it just gets better and better'' Woman & Home
London, 1842. There has been 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.
Captain William Avery is persuaded to investigate, and soon discovers a web of rivalries and hatreds, both personal and political, simmering behind the club''s handsome façade - and in particular concerning 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 was only a dress rehearsal for something far more sinister?
