The legacy of the chocolate villa Serafine Montalin takes a job as an internal investigator at the chocolate company CacaoBest - with a secret goal: she wants to solve the alleged accidental death of her father years ago. But further suspicious machinations and the bitter takeover battle for the Grison chocolate factory become Serafine's undoing. She gets caught between the fronts - and comes across a dark chapter in the past of a Swiss chocolate manufacturer that could drag her into the abyss ... 'In a captivating way, Dina Casparis manages to interweave in-depth knowledge with an exciting story in which the sweetness of chocolate competes with the bitter-tart aroma of crime.' - Martin R. Dean, author of Tobacco and Chocolate, nominated for the Swiss Book Prize
