While compiling a book of recipes from Boston's top chefs, she comes in contact with one of Josh's friends, Digger. Chloe manages to stay cool until later she finds Digger's apartment charred-with Digger in it.Not believing that an expert chef would die from a grease fire, she sets about looking for Digger's killer.
