Gluttony

Barcelona in October. A celebrated chef whose nine-year reputation rests on the labor of four suppliers whose names have never appeared in a single published review. Ninety thousand euros across six years. Faces on the walls of a private dining room — present and invisible at the same time.

Interpol Commissioner Sonya Logan and journalist Mateo Padilla follow the curriculum's fifth lesson into a city of architectural ambition and appetite. The diagnosis is gluttony — but not the gluttony of intake. The gluttony of taking too daintily, of consumption that erases the source of what is consumed.

Detective Puig has been building the financial record for years. The suppliers' names have been waiting for someone to write them down.

A literary thriller of sin, labor, and the appetite that hides what it depends on. The fifth book in the Between Heaven and Hell series.
