Slow Burn (Leo Waterman Mystery) G. M. Ford Unabridged edition

Anticipating problems, a prestigious global restaurant convention hires Leo as a security liaison. His assignment: monitor the movements of two adversarial steak-house competitors whose ?beef?? has previously made for some nasty confrontations and landed a food critic in the crossfire of two warring factions. Leo sends ?the Boys? off to shadow all three parties and report back to him. But even the simplest of plans can cascade into catastrophe. And Leo soon finds himself served up as the prime suspect in a murder...realizing that both his life and career are at stake.
