Produktbeschreibung

What would you do for a seat at the table? In this deliciously dark thriller set in Japan, a desperate gambling addict masquerades as the private chef to a reclusive billionaire with deadly taste--from the twisted mind behind Claire, Darling. "Stuffed with succulent prose, delicious dread, and cutting commentary on power, class, and greed, Greedy is as brilliant as it is brutal."--Rachel Harrison, New York Times bestselling author of Play Nice They will kill me soon, Edward Cook thinks. And when the Yakuza are unable to collect what he owes, Ed realizes, theyʼll go after his wife and child next. Broke, desperate, and unemployed, he stumbles upon an unusual ad: Chef wanted! Private chef for a high-profile businesswoman. One million yen per day. >The closer Ed gets to Hazeline and the brighter future that she promises--if he remains loyal--the nearer he is to realizing the chilling truth about her altruism. In this shadow world of unimaginable wealth, there are worse monsters than two-bit gangsters. The wind blowing through Hazeline's home carries the sound of screaming, and Ed finds himself feeding all kinds of beasts. Perfect for fans of Parasite and The Menu--enticing as a starter, meaty as a main dish, and full of satisfying just-desserts--Greedy is a suspenseful poison-pen note to classism and an ode to Japanese cuisine, a horror-tinged thriller unsuitable for vegetarians but full of shocking delights for every reader.
