Recensione:
"A high-end restaurant is - for any competent novelist - a gift that keeps on giving. The heat, the bickerings and intrigue, the pursuit of perfection, the dodgy money keeping it all afloat: the setting spawns plots ... Can the [Liquor] franchise sustain itself? The answer is yes." —New York Times
“Brite’s restless imagination leads her in a new, strikingly different direction, one that may surprise—and should delight—her longtime readers.” —Washington Post Book World
“Steeped in spicy dialogue and N’awlins flavor . . . a behind-the-swinging-door peek into the world of chefs.” —Entertainment Weekly

But taking the gig will mean a reunion with Cooper Stark, the older chef with whom Rickey shared an unsettling cocaine-fueled encounter back in culinary school, as well as dealing with gung-ho Texas businessman/restaurateur Frank Firestone. At G-mans urging, Rickey finally accepts the offer and revamps Firestones menu to rave reviews.Home in New Orleans, Rickey has just settled back into his daily kitchen routine when he receives disturbing information that forces his return to Dallas.
