**"A deliciously twisted thriller that blends culinary obsession with moral horror . . . This novel savors excess, class, and complicity . . . and leaves you squirming."--Dua Lipa's Service95**

What would _you_ do for a seat at the table?

_They will kill me soon,_ Edward Cook thinks. And when the Yakuza are unable to collect what he owes, Ed realizes, theyʼll go after his wife and child next. Broke, desperate, and unemployed, he stumbles upon an unusual ad: _Chef wanted! Private chef for a high-profile businesswoman. One million yen per day.  
_  
Ed accepts the job. He hasnʼt earned any Michelin stars, but he knows his way around a kitchen. Leaving his life in Tokyo behind, he departs for an opulent estate in the mountains owned by the enigmatic and reclusive Hazeline Yamamoto, a disgraced socialite with a predatorʼs smile and an exacting palate. Hazelineʼs world is one of taste, connoisseurship, and experimentation--she is a certified gourmand. But when you can afford filet mignon for every meal, you begin to seek out the strange and forbidden.

The closer Ed gets to Hazeline and the brighter future that she promises--if he remains loyal--the nearer he is to realizing the chilling truth about her altruism. In this shadow world of unimaginable wealth, there are worse monsters than two-bit gangsters. The wind blowing through Hazeline's home carries the sound of screaming, and Ed finds himself feeding all kinds of beasts.

Perfect for fans of _Parasite_ and _The Menu_\--enticing as a starter, meaty as a main dish, and full of satisfying just-desserts--_Greedy_ is a suspenseful poison-pen note to classism and an ode to Japanese cuisine, a horror-tinged thriller unsuitable for vegetarians but full of shocking delights for every reader.
