London : Doubleday, 2009. 430, [1] p. ; 24 cm. "Gabriel Lightfoot is an enterprising man from a northern England mill town, making good in London. As executive chef at the once-splendid Imperial Hotel, he is trying to run a tight kitchen. But his integrity, to say nothing of his sanity, is under constant challenge from the competing demands of an exuberant multinational staff, a gimlet-eyed hotel management, and business partners with whom he is secretly planning a move to a restaurant of his own. Despite the pressures, all his hard work looks set to payoff. Until a worker is found dead in the kitchen's basement. It is a small death, a lonely death - but it is enough to disturb the tenuous balance of Gabe's life." "Elsewhere, Gabriel faces other complications. His father is dying of cancer, his girlfriend wants more from their relationship, and the restaurant manager appears to be running an illegal business under Gabe's nose." "Enter Lena, an eerily attractive young woman with mysterious ties to the dead man. Under her spell, Gabe makes a decision, the consequences of which strip him naked and change the course of the life he knows - and the future he thought he wanted."--BOOK JACKET. 28829 Hotels England London Fiction. 7239 Cooks Fiction. 7240 Restaurants Fiction. 7241 London (England) Fiction. 6103 ddc BK 33429 33429 0 0 ddc 0 823_920000000000000_ALI 0 44678 BRACUL BRACUL GEN 2015-01-10 BRAC Institute of Language (BIL) 0 823.92 ALI 3010028829 2015-01-10 1 2015-01-10 BK Transferred from BIL to BRACUL on 06/06/22
