Secrets worth killing for?

Organised crime in a restaurant near you.

First spreading through the narrow alleys of Naples, its tentacles reach north, to the heart of Europe.

Is Ecco, the world-famous Neapolitan restaurant the host, victim or source? One thing is clear: the innovative gourmet temple is leaking secrets like a sieve. And who killed the chef?

Beatrice is on her first paid job since retiring from Scotland Yard. A delicate private investigation, undercover in a Michelin-starred kitchen. Guarded by the most dangerous volcano on earth. She'd better bring her friends.

Italians say Naples is a piece of heaven that fell to earth.

For Beatrice and her folks, magic soon turns into menace. Family affairs and business are impossibly entangled. Threats and mistrust lurk everywhere and someone is waiting in the shadows.

Is Beatrice's cover blown? Can she still set a trap?
The heat is on. She must identify the mole before someone else is killed.

You'll devour this intricate mystery, because it is inhabited by a delicious cast.

Recommended to readers of Andrea Camilleri, Peter Grainger or Donna Leon.

"I thoroughly enjoyed Jill Marsh's presentation of a hot and flustered Beatrice Stubbs amidst Italian pots, pans and flans, who at the flick of a whisk, manages to regain her cool and resolve a tricky Neapolitan intrigue and murder." - Janys Hyde, owner at Creative Retreats, Italy
