Nathan Sherlock is a world-renowned chef with a nose for great food . . . and murder.
Known by adoring foodie followers as "Nate The Nose," the cooking sensation's skills are enhanced by an unusual gift – a sense of smell far greater than a bloodhound. His olfactory powers propelled him to the apex of celebrity chefs and wine experts with TV shows, a massive social media presence and an eight-figure contract as pitch man for a giant food conglomerate.
Outside of his long-time confidante, Bonnie, the world doesn’t know the true extent of his abilities.
His nose allows him to pick a pear at the exact moment of ripeness. It directs him to shape menus that reignite the mojo in middle-aged couples.
And wherever he is and whatever he’s doing, if there's murder afoot, his nose detects foul play.
Nathan and Bonnie soon learn their well guarded secret isn’t so secret after all.
A Canada-US anti-terrorism agency conscripts the pair to sniff down an activist cell. The perpetrators have kidnapped a Canadian scientist and used his research into negative gravity to create a terrible weapon.
The anti-terrorism agents fear terrorists will drop icebergs the size of Manhattan on New York City or send armies spinning into the sky. One scientist predicts an amateur's blundering might accidentally launch everybody and everything into space.
By eliminating weight, negative gravity removes the need for fossil fuels, causing the world's oil markets to crash.
Terrorism, world oil markets, and the uneven distribution of wealth are the key ingredients in this dark and delicious thriller.
Here's what reviewers are saying:
"I was a little skeptical about how a super sense of smell can help a task force to capture a terrorist, but the way it was handled and written
was awe inspiring."
– Five stars, Rabia Tanveer for Readers' Favorite
"Gravity Games doesn't just involve; it immerses readers in the finer details of the story. Highly recommended for any mystery fan who also happens to cultivate an affection for food and special problem-solving abilities."
– Highly recommended, Diane Donovan for Midwest Book Review
