The acclaimed first novel by the New York Times bestselling author of Kitchen Confidential and host of
Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown
on CNN. A wildly funny, irreverent tale of murder, mayhem, and the mob.
When up-and-coming chef Tommy Pagana settles for a less than glamorous stint at his uncle's restaurant in Manhattan's Little Italy, he unwittingly finds himself a partner in big-time crime. And when the mob decides to use the kitchen for a murder, nothing Tommy learned in cooking school has prepared him for what happens next.
With the FBI on one side, and his eccentric wise-guy superiors on the other, Tommy has to struggle to do right by his conscience, and to avoid getting killed in the meantime.
In the vein of Prizzi's Honor, Bone in the Throat is a thrilling Mafia caper laced with entertaining characters and wry humor. This first novel is a must-have for fans of Anthony Bourdain's nonfiction.

Reading this book makes you feel like you're in the middle of Little Italy in New York and part of the big mafia family. There is Tommy who tries so hard not to get part of it and his uncle who is in the mafia and he tries so hard to convince him to get involved.
So he asks him for one and only one favour which will end in a big disaster.
Anthony Bourdain's style of writing is so fluent, he uses a lot of slang terms and while you're reading you feel like you're actually listening to their conversation. It makes a lot of fun to read it and I always hoped Tommy would take the right decision. Bourdain's always at point with his writing the tension builds up and you can't really put the book away before you know how Tommy will cope.
I can really recommend this book and yes you will find a few recipes in the book for that Tommy is of course a souschef and working in a restaurant.
