A midwestern noir series set in the harsh landscape of the northern
Minnesota Iron Range--Hot Lunch Special is all about family, food and
the fight for survival.
The Khourys are a classic immigrant success story: A fractious and
quarrelsome Lebanese family who carved their slice of the American Dream
by becoming the largest distributors of vending machine sandwiches in
the upper northern Midwest.
Unfortunately, the Khourys gains have been ill-gotten and a branch of
the Chicago Irish Mob has come back to collect a past debt. Fealty is
demanded, shots are fired, and long-hidden family secrets are fully
revealed. Now, Dorothy Khoury, the daughter of the family patriarch is
forced to unite her splintered bloodline and fight back.
Only one question is worth asking...is blood thicker than sandwiches?
