The Truffle Underground: A Tale of Mystery, Mayhem, and Manipulation in the Shad

Description: The Truffle Underground by Ryan Jacobs Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description The Truffle Underground takes readers through the fascinating underworld of the truffle industry. Beneath the glossy veneer of star chefs and crystal-laden tables, a hidden world of intrigue, sabotage, and crime undergirds the elegance of truffles- Feuding factions plant poisoned meatballs in competitors fields to eliminate rival truffle-hunting dogs. Crime syndicates steal research from the labs of scientists attempting to cultivate them, and unsuspecting foragers are held at gunpoint while bandits lift an entire months worth of income from their car trunks. The Truffle Underground has all of the makings of the next compulsively readable food expose, a deeply researched dive into the dark origins of the worlds most valuable fungus--from the scientific mysteries of their growth to the story of the hapless French farmer who discovered the secret to cultivating them to brutal crimes in the forests and the white-collar crimes that surround this secretive industry. Through it all, a question lingers- What, other than money, draws people to these dirt-covered knobs? Author Biography RYAN JACOBS is an investigative reporter and senior editor at Pacific Standard. He has previously held positions at Mother Jones, Sierra, and The Atlantic. While at The Atlantic, Jacobss article profiling the truffle underworld went viral and became one of the most-viewed articles of 2014.
