Produktbeschreibung
A chilling fog rolls over San Francisco, carrying the scent of fear, not sourdough. Master bakers are dying, each death a macabre ritual, their bodies dusted with forgotten grains—emmer, einkorn, Khorasan. Food historian Pamela Gallegas recognizes the pattern: ancient bread recipes, thought lost to time, are now a death sentence. These recipes, she knows, hold the key to a sustainable future, but that knowledge is a dangerous currency.
Alejandro Cain, the charismatic CEO of AgriCorp, sees these grains as a threat to his agricultural empire. His public face is philanthropy, but behind the mask lurks a ruthless ambition. Reginald Davenport, a reclusive sourdough purist, whispers cryptic warnings, his words as enigmatic as his starter. And Tiffany McDonald, a tenacious journalist, smells a story, her sharp wit and investigative skills becoming Pamela's unexpected weapon.
From the bustling kitchens of San Francisco to the hushed archives of the California Academy of Sciences, Pamela’s quest plunges her into a world of forgotten grains and corporate conspiracies. She discovers isolated communities safeguarding these ancient seeds, unknowingly holding the key to humanity’s survival. But AgriCorp's shadowy agents are closing in, their intent clear: suppress the knowledge, maintain control.
The annual San Francisco Bread Festival becomes a battleground, the aroma of baking bread masking a desperate struggle for the future of food. As Pamela races to expose AgriCorp, a shocking twist emerges: a rogue faction within the corporation seeks not to control the ancient grains, but to destroy them, believing they offer a false hope for a dying planet. The fight is no longer just about corporate greed, but the very survival of humanity. In a hidden greenhouse, surrounded by endangered plants, Pamela must confront not a CEO, but a brilliant, disillusioned scientist, her weapon not a knife, but empathy. The sourdough slayer isn't who you think, and the stakes are higher than anyone imagined.
