When Kee Sook Lin - retired senior pharmacist and widowed congee stall owner - hosts her third anniversary dinner at Pusat Makanan Taman Paramount, she expects nothing more complicated than forty bowls of laksa and a crooked paper lantern.
What she doesn't expect is for her guest - her late husband's oldest friend, a beloved retired doctor - to collapse at the table before he can reveal a secret he has been carrying for three years.
The police call it a cardiac event. Madam Kee calls it murder.
Armed with twenty-eight years of clinical pharmacy knowledge, Madam Kee begins to follow the evidence: a pill organiser that doesn't add up, a stolen batch of controlled medication, and a daughter-in-law with an eight-year head start on planning the perfect crime.
But the deeper she digs, the larger the shadow grows - and the network behind this murder runs further than one family's greed.
Book Three in The Madam Kee Mysteries - the culinary cozy mystery series set in the hawker centres of Petaling Jaya, Malaysia. Each book works as a standalone.
