Gala night at Frere Jacques restaurant where the local political and good gather for a banquet. Everyone is looking forward to a good night and that's what they'll have, just not quite in the way they envisaged. Indeed it will be a night to remember for a long time to come, for all the wrong reasons courtesy of the little something in the dessert. Meanwhile young people are going missing on a scale that the town of Tresside has never experienced before but Tresside doesn't know the half of it… yet!
Irish author [[:Category:John Piper|John Piper]] enjoys writing about ordinary people in extraordinary situations as he proved with his satisfyingly quirky alternative history [[Hibernia Unanimis: "Pro Deo, Rege et Patricia, Hibernia Unanimis" (For God, King and Country, Ireland is United) by John Piper|Hibernia Unanimis]]. We now have the opportunity to travel back in time to 2013 and one of John's earlier novels in which he shows us the world of high end dining colliding with politics and crime with lethal results.
John's trademark again hits us from the first few pages in which we're introduced to a plethora of characters. No need to be too anxious though; eventually the ones to remember will surface and stay with us.
(Thank you to the author for providing us with a copy for review.)
Further Reading: It goes without saying that [[Hibernia Unanimis: "Pro Deo, Rege et Patricia, Hibernia Unanimis" (For God, King and Country, Ireland is United) by John Piper|Hibernia Unanimis]] deserves a read. If you're already a fan of John Piper, how about continuing with the world of top end dining in tantalisingly named [[The Hunger and the Howling of Killian Lone by Will Storr]]?
