TWENTY-SIXTH THOUSAND Printing
Blurb: “Joseph Fontenot, Cajun chef extraordi-naire, is dead, stabbed with a fine French slicing blade during the banquet for the Great Chefs of New Orleans, and Dora Levoyer, a quiet woman whose past is as tightly locked as the special case of kitchen knives she has brought from Boston, stands accused of the murder.
Mary Spraggue Hillman didn't want to go to New Orleans in the first place. But with Dora, her cook, in trouble, the financial wizard behind the Spraggue fortune takes time out to tangle with the New Orleans police and to call her nephew in for help.
Michael Spraggue slips off his actor's costume to don the mask of private investigator once more, prying into a spicy mix of culinary rivalries. The trail winds through pre-Mardi Gras New Orleans, from Cajun bars to hoodoo queens to hidden loot, leading to the old St. Louis Cemeteries, where the burial vaults maybe above ground, but the skeletons are buried deep.”
