When the celebrity chef from a popular morning news program becomes a prime suspect in a murder investigation, things start to sizzle in this delightful mystery from bestselling author and legendary news personality Al Roker.

Billy Blessing, owner of the popular Manhattan restaurant Blessing's Bistro, is a regular contributor on the morning news show, Wake Up, America! Now he's creating a fresh cooking competition show, but finds himself clashing with Rudy Gallagher, the executive producer. Things get heated in the newsroom, and after exchanging some sharp words, both Billy and Rudy walk away feeling burned.

Next thing he knows, Rudy is found dead in his luxury apartment, and Billy is the prime suspect. Determined to clear his name, Billy begins his own investigation, only to discover things are much more complicated than he ever imagined. Unsavory characters start coming out of the woodwork, and before long he stumbles into the crosshairs of an international assassin.

      Roker (Al Roker's Big Bad Book of Barbecue
      ) teams with Lochte (Sleeping Dog
      ) on a solid, exciting crime novel that revolves around a fictional TV program much like NBC's The Today Show
      . Billy Blessing, a New York City celebrity chef who owns a restaurant and does a variety of segments on Wake Up, America!
      , has just begun filming a reality food show when he becomes a suspect in a murder case after Rudy Gallagher, Blessing's executive producer on the show with whom he has clashed, dies after eating some poisoned coq au vin from Blessing's restaurant. When the Manhattan DA shut downs the restaurant and Gallagher's replacement suspends him from his main television gig, Blessing turns sleuth. The gold standard for investigating network TV skullduggery is still the late William DeAndrea's Matt Cobb series (Killed in the Ratings
      , etc.), but snappy prose and well-developed characters will leave readers wanting to see more of Blessing.
