A delicious blend of mystery, history, and top-notch cuisine.
Neil Flambé 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!"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
"This exuberant culinary mystery has the behind-the-scenes panache of Disney's Ratatouille and is held together by a kid who is as cocky in the kitchen as Gordon Ramsay (whose blurb graces the cover!).
Fourteen-year-old Neil Flambé is pretty much a failure when it comes to math, chemistry, and art, but he is a genius when applying those subjects to his own recipes at his celebrated Vancouver restaurant. Neil has got a superdeveloped olfactory sense, and the police call him "The Nose" while using him to sniff around crime scenes. The latest call to detect trace evidence involves a series of murders of Vancouver's top chefs. Neil picks up an exotic chai spice mixture on the dead chefs' lips and a baffling "something else" that he can't quite put his nose on. The murders continue, and Neil himself, unable to solve the crimes, becomes the chief suspect. First published in Canada in 2010, this series starter is over-the-top fun and features an intriguing link to Marco Polo's last voyage."
