London’s gourmet detective is contemplating an empty bank account and, worse, an empty stomach, when a phone call solves both problems at once.

Magnuson's dogged investigation to find the killer, and himself, takes him deep into urban Chicago, laying bare the corrupt city and its seething soul in all its macabre, heartbreaking, and violent complexity.
