Thorndike is just like any other quaint Cornish village. Everyone knows everyone, and families have lived there for generations. The village inn boasts the finest food and warmest welcome, and visitors and locals alike agree that old Thad Beanie makes the most delicious meat pies they have ever tasted. Like most proud chefs, Thad refuses to divulge the secret to his family recipe. The secret, which stretches back hundreds of years, is not how you cook the meat, but where the meat comes from. This book contains graphic violence and is not suitable for readers under the age of 18.
