Carnivore

De: K. Anis Ahmed

Narrado por: Vishnu Krishnan

In New York’s high-end restaurant scene one chef will do anything, and cook anything, to come out on top.

Kash knows what hunger really means.

He grew up with nothing. Built a restaurant from nothing.

Now he's cooking for men who have everything – billionaires with appetites as twisted as their fortunes. They hunger for what money can't buy, what laws forbid, what no one else dares serve.

Kash will give them exactly what they crave.

And then some more.

Reseñas de la Crítica

'The author's deliciously dark, sardonic humour shines through' OBSERVER

'A daring and disturbing literary dish … To say Ahmed is fearless in his style is an understatement. His prose switches from the nostalgic past of Dhaka childhood to the well-researched gourmet culture of New York's high-end kitchens' Daily Star

'Fast-paced, deeply disturbing satire … Ahmed writes with a sharp, almost surgical eye for the grotesqueries of power … the humour is biting, the characters morally murky, and the plot dripping with tension' HINDUSTAN TIMES

'Carnivore is full of dark humour and unexpected twists. Not everyone will have the stomach for the underlying ingredient at the heart of this novel but if you like your stories bold and satirical, this will be right up your street' CULTUREFLY

'A book that skirts the outrageous but still manages to keep a foot sunk in reality despite the provocative premise and rapidly turns into a rather breathless thriller' CrimeTime

‘A wicked take on the underbelly of the immigrant dream’ VASEEM KHAN

‘A vital read that barrels through to its devastating (and very satisfying) conclusion’ NINA BADRESHWAR

‘Carnivore is not your everyday thriller – edgy, exotic, dangerous and unexpected. I loved it’ RS BURNETT
