Former detective and culinary crime investigator Phillip Bartlow is back! But his life is now in a downward tailspin. He has lost his job as the host of a TV cooking competition show, his wife is hopelessly locked away in a psychiatric hospital and the bills are piling up.

  Phillip's new career opportunity brings him in contact with a beautiful female colleague. His new companion and fast talking booking agent unwittingly get him embroiled in an international scheme to smuggle rare and precious radioactive ore.
