From a food writer at the "New York Post" comes the tale of a chef who goes searching for mushrooms and digs up a corpse instead. When the murderer proves to be as elusive as the chef's beloved mushrooms, he is faced with a situation as delicate as a chocolate souffle--and more deadly than a cranky food critic.

First line

Charly Poisson, chef and co-owner of La Fermette, grinned as he stood behind the swinging doors between his kitchen and his dinning room and peered out at his Sunday afternoon crowd.

From the rear cover

A FUNGUS AMONG US

While foraging for fungi in his secret spot, Charly Poisson, owner and chef of La Fermette, inadvertently unearths more than the oyster mushrooms he enjoys on his breakfast toast. Someone, apparently, has had the bad taste to bury an Hermes scarf in the hummus -- with a woman still attached! Mon Dieu!

Now, plagued by a series of mysterious barn burnings and a psychotic killer on the loose, a once-sleepy upstate New York town has suddenly become a bubbling hot compote of danger and intrigue. Does the blood-hungry murderer lurk among Charly's quirky, epicurean clientele? Worse yet, do the police intend to put the case on the back burner? Add to the mix one chubby French chef with a dangerous craving to solve the crime, rumors of mob ties, age-old vendettas, and a melange of motives that make almost everyone a suspect. Stir the pot vigorously and heat to serve...
