Summary
Troubled Environmental Health Officer Danny Skinner is engaged on a quest to uncover what he refers to as 'the bedroom secrets of the master chefs'. This book presents a gothic parable about the great obsessions: food, sex and minor celebrity, and an examination of identity, male rivalry and the need to belong in the world.
