An attractive sous chef at the famous L'Elfe is murdered and half of the
employees are suspect. Lacking confidence in the police to solve the
murder, Chef Jean Bouvier seeks a quicker solution. He hires private
eyes James Lessor and Skip Moore to go undercover and discreetly
investigate his restaurant staff. But their investigation turns up far
more than they bargained for. Skip's girlfriend, Emily, confesses that
the murder victim and she had been close friends at one point in their
lives and had shared a very dark secret.
But Emily refuses to elaborate, building a wall of defense between
herself and the two young detectives. The more James and Skip
investigate the background of the victim and the people she knew, the
more they are convinced that this shared secret has far-reaching
implications that may lead to the motive for the murder.
The closer they get to the answer, the more desperate someone is to stop
them.
