Juggling With Knives

Chef Harry Wells thinks he is retired from his former life doing special ops for the Defense Department. But when he attempts to cater a dinner on Deer Island in the St. Lawrence River, he finds himself caught up in the murder of an FBI agent as well as a narcotics investigation involving a Chinese triad, Russian organized crime and some people from Yale University's Skull and Bones Society. He is pulled into the FBI's operation and gets partnered with a G-man named Ronnie Malcolm. Malcolm is reluctant to work with a civilian but he comes to value the training and hard learned skills of a man such as Harry Wells. Harry's boss and restaurant owner, Agathe Foutopolis, a Greek immigrant, does not share her chef's enthusiasm for the cloak and dagger life, but she soon finds that Harry's problems are becoming hers as someone threatens to destroy her business and all she has worked for. The action in this book runs throughout and will keep the reader guessing with every twist and turn.
