Zin Mignon approached his father's grave and buckled in horror. "Mom! Look! Who would do such a thing?"
"Oh, son, I'm so sorry." "I don't get it. Dad was just a simple guy who ran a little deli. I mean… Wasn't he?"
Thus begins the 4th book of brilliant 13 year-old Chef Zin Mignon. He's one part culinary mastermind and two parts just-another-kid with The Great American Dream. But everything's gone haywire. Zin's returned to the docks of Brooklyn to face the wicked winter wind and to learn, once and for all, about his family's dark history. He's long suspected the key lies among the mysterious Mustard Monks, who've apparently shadowed him in their yellow shrouds for years. But why?
The first 3 books of the sprawling Series have chronicled young Zin's unfathomable yet delicious rise to the pinnacle of Chef-dom. He's the finest Chef in the world, serving supermodels, billionaires, and every A-list celebrity in his Sunset Strip restaurant. We've also seen him roast rats in homeless camps, suffer the squalid orphanages of Russia, roam Gypsy caves of the Steppes, as he's continually undermined by a host of ever-envious evil provocateurs. Zin has also climbed to the reclusive mountaintop Abbey of the mysterious Mustard Monks, who conceal their secrets like prized Russian caviar. But if he could only unravel his rotten family history.
Dare you learn the monumental secrets of Zin's gnawing past? This book tells it all. Join Zin in his most fantastical world-spanning adventure yet. But be warned: food will never taste the same. In this epic conclusion, the Truth is Served. Will Zin be elated to finally uncover his family saga? Or utterly dashed into doom? Neither Zin, nor the reader, ever expected a shocker like this.
And yes... once and for all, brave and fearless readers will learn …Who the heck are the Mustard Monks?
