Description: "At the Casa Lido, the end of summer means a party, and hit whodunit writer Victoria 'Vic' Rienzi and her family are cooking like crazy for the restaurant's seventieth-anniversary celebration. As they chop onions and garlic, old family friend Pete Petrocelli stops by, saying he knows something that would make for a good mystery novel. Curious, Vic asks her nonna to elaborate on Pete's claim and learns of a relative who mysteriously disappeared back in Italy.... The night of the party brings a crowd--and a full-throttle hurricane. When the storm finally passes, everyone thinks they're in the clear--until the first casualty is found, and it's Pete. Remembering his visit, Vic isn't certain Pete's death was an accident, and she decides to dig deeper into his story. What she finds is meatier than Nonna's sauce...." -- Page [4] cover.
