About this book

Take one sniff of its contents and you will be hooked by an irresistible desire to taste the adventure within. And the ingredients of this adventure are decidedly deadly, including as they do: a cursed Aztec artefact ; an evil and deranged chef ; a secret jungle lair inhabited by cocoa-crazed monkeys ; and the most dangerous chocolate ever created... I beg you, step away from this deliciously dark mystery, before the secrets within overpower you.
