When Quincie Morris’s parents died, they left her their family legacy, the Italian restaurant Fat Lorenzo’s. Since Quincie was only fourteen, her Uncle Davidson was put in charge of caring for her and the restaurant until she turns 21. Unfortunately she’s still only 17 and a senior in high school but she’s been taking a more active role in the restaurant which has been completely remodeled and redesigned. When it reopens, it will be Sanguini’s: A Very Rare Restaurant, the first vampire themed establishment in Austin and it’s hitting headlines even before the Friday the thirteenth grand opening. You see, the chef has been brutally murdered in the kitchen and the new hire, Henry Johnson, has created a menu to die for. Will Sanguini’s be able to tantalize the taste buds of Austin’s culinary critics? Or will it turn out to be more than Quincie bargained for?
