Their destination is southern Arizona, where Horace is slated to co-chair the Best Chef Tucson Jail-and-Bail Weekend Gala with his beloved friend Bunny Lorillard, queen bee of fashionable society. Making the trip are Horace's bartender, Pierre; his private chef, Wanda; and her husband, Jack, who is the narrator of the story. Horace brings along his adopted thirteen-year-old niece, Jane, and her best friend from school, Florabelle. Both girls have recently been suspended, and Horace hopes spending time with Bunny will inspire the mischief-makers to live up to the motto -- "high moral character and service to community" -- of their tony Palo Alto school. In Tucson, anticipation for the traditional weekend gala runs high. But when the weekend takes a macabre turn, Horace finds himself in a unique position to solve the lethal crime he's convinced has occurred. Slinging insults, riding roughshod over perceived inferiors, and always keeping a stiff drink close at hand, Horace offends and appalls Tucson's titled officials and food-scene elites in his search for the truth. What he can't foresee is that the secret he's about to reveal might be better left undiscovered. 650 0 $a Food writers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Dining cars $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Railroad trains $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Tucson (Ariz.) $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 2 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20221220010404.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20220802013611.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=950A6722122B11EDB028045E3CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
