"Torte's beloved Sterling and Stephanie have been hired to take over the aging restaurant at the cliffside Whaleshead Resort. They're nervous about striking out on their own, but excited by the opportunity to put their own spin on a new menu. ... What's even better is that Jules and the team from Torte have come out for opening weekend to cheer them on. ... As the [orders] begin to line up and guests pile in the front door, Jules and Carlos offer to roll up their sleeves and help in any way they can. ... They suddenly hear screaming. Erik Morton, the manager of Whaleshead and their new boss, has taken a fatal fall down the steep and dangerous cliffside trail leading to the beach." -- Provided by publisher.
