Description: A delicious blend of mystery, history, and top-notch cuisine. Neil Flamb? may be fourteen years old, but he?s also a world-renowned chef. Patrons pay top dollar and wait months for reservations at his tiny boutique restaurant. But Neil is more than a fantastic cook?he solves crime too. Ever since he used his kitchen know-how and keen sense of smell to acquit a man of murder, he?s been helping Police Inspector Sean Nakamura crack case after case. But when some of the best chefs in town turn up dead, the crime scenes turn culinary. Police are stumped, and the only clues are the scents of mysterious spices and a journal that may have belonged to?Marco Polo? Neil must find a way to connect the past with the present and solve the murders?or he could end up as the prime suspect!
