When the cheese vanishes, so does the truth.
Saffron Tate, sharp-tongued food writer and part-time motorbike menace, is invited to write a glowing piece on Hollowstone Farm-a traditional dairy clinging to its cheesemaking heritage in the village of Cheddar. But the story takes a pungent turn when 500 wheels of their prized cave-aged cheddar mysteriously disappear overnight.
What begins as a mild curiosity soon melts into something much more sinister. As Saffy sniffs out clues in local pubs, national food expos, and increasingly exclusive tasting rooms, she uncovers a world of counterfeit flavours, luxury food fraud, and an underground network that's curating taste itself.
With a sarcastic grin, a backpack full of notebooks, and a cheese knife that's seen more action than her dating life, Saffy must follow the crumbs-from sleepy Somerset to London food launches-before the culprits cover their tracks.
