"A good read and Wohlforth is always worth the time. The best part of the story is the creative use of soup as a murder weapon."--James R. Winter, Thrilling Detective

Laura now worked at La Provence, Oakland's newest, priciest restaurant. Written up in the New York Times. Two month's wait for a reservation.

It was ten in the morning. Where had she been all night? If she went home after her restaurant job, she hadn't bothered to shower or change her clothes. So unlike her. Neat, well organized, hardworking.

"What's this all about, Laura? You said it was an emergency."

We shared a table in front of Green's Organic Coffee on College Avenue. Half a block from La Provence.

"Jim, I feel I'm going to be charged with murder."

"Whose?"

"Carol Smythe."

"You're kidding. The Carol Smythe?"

World famous chef. Owner of La Provence. Four-page spread in this month's Gourmet Magazine. I knew a little too much about Symthe. Some say she was better at self-promotion than cooking.

"None other."
