Description: Northern Italy is the cradle for a precious culinary gem, the white truffle of Piedmont, worth more than gold and sought after by chefs and foodies alike. But this year, the truffle hunters are in a panic as they discover that their usual harvest has been stolen literally from under their feet. Inexplicably, the bodies of murdered hunters turn up, but no truffles. A young man from Tuscany, in tow with his aunt and her restaurant crew, pursue the theft and the thieves through the hills of Piedmont and the wine and food of Italy.
