But ancient Native American pottery is not really intended for dining, so he is puzzled when a restaurateur comes to him asking for dinner plates. The job sounds boring, but the fee does not: $25,000 for one hundred plates for a new Austrian restaurant in Santa Fe. The owner insists Hubie relocate to the area for the duration of the job in order to soak in the restaurant atmosphere as he works. Hubie has dealt with his fair share of grave robbers, museum burglars, and cold-blooded killers, but nothing could prepare him for the infighting that goes on behind a kitchen's doors. When the cooks start croaking, the pot thief will have to move quickly to collect his fee, save the restaurant, and escape Santa Fe alive. 650 0 $a Schuze, Hubie (Fictitious character) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Murder $z New Mexico $v Fiction. 651 0 $a New Mexico $x Antiquities $v Fiction. 651 0 $a New Mexico $v Fiction. $9 212248 655 7 $a Humorous fiction. $2 lcgft $9 802188 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $2 lcgft $9 802168 800 1 $a Orenduff, J.
