Greedy

ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- Greedy follows a man cornered by gambling debt to the Yakuza, who takes a private chef job for a wealthy woman, hoping to steady a life already wobbling at home. Food becomes the novel’s quiet engine: each plated dish mirrors his rising anxiety, fragile confidence, and faltering sense of control, both as a cook, husband and father.

Callie Kazumi keeps the tone cool and restrained, letting tension build through food, routine, and awkward silences. It’s controlled, quietly gripping – a study of appetite, power, and the small compromises that slowly reshape a life. Steve

Sinister, stylish and utterly addictive, Greedy is a feast of a novel. It’s playfully fiendish and a seductive blood-soaked gourmet thriller you won’t be able to put down. -- Lucy Rose Callie Kazumi is one to watch -- Alice Slater Greedy is gripping, wicked and rich in its storytelling. -- Ivy Ngeow As brilliant as it is brutal. That a book this smart, this profound, and this cynical can still be this much fun is a feat. -- Rachel Harrison Deliciously dark. This biting thriller about wealth, morality and insatiable appetites will leave you hungry for another Callie Kazumi novel. -- Asia Mackay
