The Chef

Murder at Mardi Gras




Detective turned chef Caleb Rooney believes he's uncovered a terrorist plot that could destroy his city. But before he can track down the suspects, Caleb must clear his own name.

Police detective by day, food truck chef by night, now Caleb Rooney has a new title: MOST WANTED.

In the Carnival days leading up to Mardi Gras, Detective Caleb Rooney comes under investigation for shooting dead a notorious drug dealer.

Has his sideline at the Killer Chef food truck given him a taste for murder?

While fighting the charges against him, Rooney makes a shocking discovery: New Orleans is under threat of an imminent terrorist attack.

As crowds of revellers gather, Rooney knows he needs to act fast – his beloved hometown and thousands of innocent lives are at stake.
