Director Applebee assigns Tony to fire Amelia Mintz. At the newspaper, a radical group tries to take over the paper to have their manifesto published. Tony stands up to the radicals, but Amelia saves the day by reciting her criticism from the morning paper -- causing the radicals to become violently ill. Tony is head-over-heels in love with Amelia, but she seems to have disappeared.
Publisher’s description
Amelia Mintz is a food critic and a Saboscrivner. That means she can write about food so accurately, so vividly and with such precision, people get the actual sensation of taste when reading her restaurant reviews. Since the government prohibition of poultry, she’s lost her enthusiasm for the culinary world, and only reviews restaurants with a “D” rating or less from the Health Department. Her last review caused half the city to projectile vomit, and sent hundreds to the hospital with severe food poisoning. Agent Tony Chu has been assigned to arrest Amelia Mintz, but there’s just one problem with that... he’s madly in love with her!
