A secret supper.
A priceless painting.
A dead art expert and a chef caught in the crossfire.
Welcome to New Orleans… where the gumbo is spicy and the secrets are lethal.

I was just there to cook dinner.
Old money, fine wine, and one world-class art appraiser—what could go wrong?
Then the appraiser drops a bomb: the host's family heirloom may be WWII-looted art.
By morning, she's dead—and I'm the prime suspect.
Now the cops want answers and my kids just want their dad home safe.

To clear my name, I'll have to follow a trail of stolen art, family secrets, and bodies that refuse to stay buried.
Good thing I still know my way around a knife.
