Capucine Culinary Series #1
Capucine Le Tellier requested the Brigade Criminelle when she graduated from the police academy. Unfortunately, she was dumped into the fiscal squad simply because her father was an investment banker. Commissaire Principal Tallon wants to keep her there despite her frequent requests for transfer. When the President-Director General of Renault is found dead in the refrigerator of Jean-Basile LaBrousse, head chef of a fancy restuarant - Diapason, Capucine is detailed to work the investigation. Perhaps being married to Alexandre, restaurant critic for The Monde, and the fact that he knows more about the restaurant business than anyone, qualifies her for this temporary assignment. Capucine uncovers a plot of industrial, international espionage relating to fuel efficiency in internal combustion engines. Set in France, The Grave Gourmet is spices with French, sprinkled with police policies and procedures, and is an epicurean's delight.
