Book Description:
Members who requested this book also requested:A wildly funny, irreverent tale of murder, mayhem, and the mob.
When up-and-coming chef Tommy Pagana settles for a less than glamorous stint at his uncle's restaurant in Manhattan's Little Italy, he unwittingly finds himself a partner in big-time crime. And when the mob decides to use the kitchen for a murder, nothing Tommy learned in cooking school has prepared him for what happens next. With the FBI on one side, and his eccentric wise guy superiors on the other, Tommy has to struggle to do right by his conscience, and to avoid getting killed in the meantime.
In the vein of Prizzi's Honor , Bone in the Throat is a thrilling Mafia caper laced with entertaining characters and wry humor. This first novel is a must-have for fans of Anthony Bourdain's nonfiction.

The protagonist in the murder mystery/gangland behind the scenes book is a chef. With Tony's experience as a chef and his ability to tell a tale, the dialogue is very realistic and readable. I loved him for his travel program but this novel demonstrates more depth than I expected.

Anthony Bourdain in essentially a chef. I used to like his show on Food TV. When he started to write novels I thought they'd be real stinkers, but Bone in the Throat was hilarious - full of all sorts of gangsters and crackpots and smack-addict chefs. I loved it.

My book has a different cover than shown here. Wickedly funny and gruesome. Wonderful descriptions of food, almost as yummy as Mr. Bourdain himself. I didn't expect to enjoy this book as much as I did.
