Close Encounters of the Deadly Kind
(2024)(The fourth book in the Cook and Inspector series)
A novel by Joanne Pence
Gourmet cuisine, UFO-chasers, and government conspiracies collide in this cosmic culinary caper…
Angie Amalfi is sure she’s finally come up with the perfect career—owner and head chef of Fantasy Dinners, bringing fantasies to life through catered dinner parties. But when her only clients turn out to be the eccentric members of a group of devoted UFO-chasers and government conspiracy connoisseurs, she realizes she's cooking with a whole new set of ingredients. As she concocts dishes to satisfy their extraterrestrial appetites, Angie stumbles upon a saucer-sized mystery.
At the same time, San Francisco Homicide Inspector, Paavo Smith, finds himself knee-deep in several murders as mysterious as Area 51, and as gruesome as stories involving “extraterrestrial abductions.”
Angie finds herself drawn ever deeper into a whirlpool of Men in Black, Roswell lore, and suspicious sightings. When she finds a connection between her clients and Paavo's investigations, she fears she’s rocketed herself her into a close encounter that has nothing to do with the food aliens eat. Will Angie and Paavo solve the mystery before it's lights out for our favorite Earthlings?
Strap in for a supernova adventure. The truth is out there!
Note: This is a fully rewritten and reimagined rendering of an earlier mystery, A Cook in Time.
