BLISTERING ~ MACABRE ~ IRREVERENT
Legendary chef Anthony Bourdain's crude culinary noir classic.
When up-and-coming chef Tommy Pagana settles for a less than glamorous stint at his uncle's failing restaurant in Little Italy, he unwittingly finds himself a partner in big-time crime. Between the chef's smack habit and a murder in the kitchen, Tommy finds that nothing he learned at culinary school has prepared him for what happens next.
Charcoal-black and gloriously entertaining, Bone in the Throat is a thrilling Mafia caper that slices open the criminal underbelly of New York City's restaurant scene - and serves it up raw.
A superb tale of violence and backbiting set in the seething testosterone-heavy company of a crew of New York cooks, and simply towers head, shoulders and upper torso above everything else * * GQ * *
Raw and cooking. Rare and well-done -- A.A. Gill
Gangster fiction to feast on * * Independent * *
Wonderful fun, a perfect book to read at the beach -- Michael Crichton * * New York Times Book Review * *
A recipe for a very good read * * Sunday Telegraph * *
Sharp, funny . . . if it's gangster rap you want to read then Bourdain is your man * * Express * *
The snappy wise-guy dialogue is as sharp as the kitchen implements Bourdain puts to grisly use . . . The result is a saucy, spicy caper that slips down as easy as a sidewalk hotdog -- Richard Rogers * * Observer Review * *
A recipe for a plot that is delicious and hilarious * * The Times * *
Coming on like a cross between Nick Tosches and The Sopranos, chef Anthony Bourdain proves himself as adept with a pen as he is with the knife - no reservations -- Cathi Unsworth * * Guardian Review * *
