A murdered food critic... a missing lion... and chocolate covered strawberries... all in a day's work for detective chef Guy Vanduex!

Valentine's Day is a day away and Sylvia Parker is excited to receive a box of chocolates with a note from a secret admirer. The note tells her to go to the bar at the Red Lyon Inn with a red rose - her secret date will bring a white one. But when Parker discovers everyone at the bar has a red rose, she is supremely disappointed. Especially since many chefs and former cooks received the same note, even Guy Vanduex.

Vanduex and Parker were partners in crime-solving, but their private investigative agency had seen better days (as has their friendship). But when a hated food critic gets murder near the Red Lyon Inn, it's up to Guy Vanduex and Sylvia Parker to work together again and find a needle in the haystack... every chef has a motive, even Vanduex.

Join detective chef Guy Vanduex and Sylvia Parker on this Valentine's Day culinary cozy mystery as they attempt to solve yet another case in the small town of Tempest, North Carolina.
