John Layman

I hadn't realized how much I missed the Chew series until I started reading this fun prequel. Set at the start of the avian bird pandemic that will reshape Tony Chu's entire world, we are introduced to his criminally-inclined sister, Saffron Chu. When a heist goes wrong, she finds herself dodging a crime boss's hitmen and her police detective brother.

Fast-paced and funny. I'm asking my library to purchase the next volume in the series.
