Airport Graffiti (& Confessions of a Recovering Chef) is a humor filled mystery, beginning with a body showing up at lunch, where a semi-retired chef and his best friend are dining with the town's Police Chief. The recovering chef gets entangled in the investigation, all the while espousing his philosophies about cooking, life, and long lost loves. The characters are fictitious; however, the character of Chef Bob is loosely based on the life of the author, who is an actual chef. As added bonus, in the glossary, he shares the recipes, which had been referred to all throughout the book.
