About this listen
'Deliciously dark' Observer
'Fast-paced, deeply disturbing satire … dripping with tension' Hindustan Times
'A rather breathless thriller' CrimeTime
'Bold and satirical' Culturefly
In New York’s high-end restaurant scene one chef will do anything, and cook anything, to come out on top.
Kash owes a lot of money.
His restaurant, specialising in exotic meats and catering to New York’s elite, was doing well. Then business dried up, and now Boris the loan shark wants his investment back.
But Kash has a plan. There’s a rumour of a dinner club, hosted in turns by billionaires. Lots of ego, and lots of money. If Kash can get the gig, it would pay off Boris and then some.
He will need to offer something new, something that five of the richest men on the planet will have never tasted before. Something entirely unprecedented …
But Boris is done waiting. He kidnaps Kash, takes him to a warehouse and cuts off his finger.
And this gives Kash an idea.

'Fast-paced, deeply disturbing satire … Ahmed writes with a sharp, almost surgical eye for the grotesqueries of power … the humour is biting, the characters morally murky, and the plot dripping with tension' HINDUSTAN TIMES
'Carnivore is full of dark humour and unexpected twists. Not everyone will have the stomach for the underlying ingredient at the heart of this novel but if you like your stories bold and satirical, this will be right up your street' CULTUREFLY
