Overview

When an Italian chef discovers the restaurant of his dreams-shuttered, sealed, and hiding deadly secrets-curiosity becomes his most dangerous ingredient.Matteo Bellini arrives in Kraków with nothing but his knives, his grandmother's recipes, and dreams of starting over. The perfect space finds him: Casa Verona, an Italian restaurant in the heart of Poland's Old Town. But it closed three weeks ago under mysterious circumstances no one wants to discuss. The owners fled to Italy overnight. Their investor was found dead in his hotel. And the money that flowed through Casa Verona's kitchen had nothing to do with feeding customers. When Matteo teams up with Ania Zielińska-a former journalist with her own dangerous questions about Kraków's power structures-they uncover a money laundering operation connecting Italian organized crime to Polish real estate corruption. To honor Giuseppe and Maria's memory, they resurrect Casa Verona for one night, serving the fusion meal its founders never could. But in a city where corruption is protected by the powerful and truth threatens the wealthy, proving what happened may be easier than surviving the investigation. Perfect for readers who love: - Culinary mysteries with sophisticated plots - International settings that feel authentic - Moral complexity over simple justice - Food writing that serves the story - Characters who risk everything for truth ""A sophisticated debut that proves not all mysteries end with handcuffs-some end with recipes worth dying for.""
