Description
'A fun romp through New York's restaurant scene and the world of the undead' Sunday Times
Kostya is haunted. Still reeling from the loss of his father, he's working as a dishwasher when he discovers something extraordinary. The tastes that have flooded his mouth without warning since childhood – thin-skinned dumplings bursting with lightly sugared sour cherries – are being sent by spirits seeking closure and, by cooking their food, Kostya can bring them back for one last meal to find it.
Maura is moonlighting as a psychic when a man with curious talents enters her booth. She's the only one who understands what Kostya is really capable of – as well as the consequences of messing with the afterlife. And as Kostya and Maura fall deeply, irresistibly in love, the line between supporting his dreams and keeping her own ghosts at bay begins to blur.
While Kostya and his best friend, Frankie, work towards opening a New York restaurant with a unique menu and unprecedented clientele, Maura senses a supernatural catastrophe looming that could see them losing everything…
