It's 1941, the opening night of Georgio Genola's brand new restaurant. The timing could be better. Following Japan's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, America is at war. There is talk of a possible West Coast invasion, and German U-boats have been sighted off the East Coast. Spies are suspected everywhere.....  Meanwhile, a note is slipped under the door of the new restaurant informing Georgio his long time friend and mentor has been sent to 'sleep with the fishes' and won't be needing tonight's reservation.

Who has dispatched Enrico Stromboli to his watery harbour side resting place? It must have been one of the guests invited to celebrate the opening of Georgio's Trattoria, but which one, and does Enrico's murder have anything to do with current world events?
