When France's top chef, Marc Fraysse, summoned the world's press to make a shattering
 announcement, rumors abounded that he was about to lose one of his three coveted
 Michelin stars.  Instead, on arrival at his remote restaurant on a volcanic
 plateau in central France, they were greeted with the news that the troubled
 genius had been murdered, and the message he intended to deliver was never made.
  Seven years on, the identity of his killer also remains an enigma.  
Enzo Macleod takes on his fifth cold case and delves into the big
 business and high stakes of French haute cuisine.  As winter sets in,
 and snow gathers along a volcanic horizon, he retraces long cold footsteps 
across a remote hilltop.  But unravelling the complex web of relationships 
that surrounded the brilliant and mercurial chef - a spurned lover, a jealous wife,
 an estranged brother, an embittered food critic--also leads to strange parallels
 with his own life.  And in opening up this celebrated cold case, he finds himself
 reopening old wounds from his past
