Murder with a culinary flare!
Someone is adulterating saffron, the world’s most expensive spice, and
then stealing boats in San Pedro, California, to get it to buyers. When
the boats start being blown up, a local fisherman investigates against the
background of San Pedro’s vibrant ethnic enclaves, the muscular water
front, and scenes from the exotic vagabond spice’s history. Murder, money
and lust-what more does a good mystery need?
