Lara Elena Donnelly's Base Notes is a wholly original novel about a perfumer who has created a product so potent it's worth killing for. Perfumer Vic Fowler creates scents that can evoke the most vivid memories, but it's not enough to pay the bills. As a result, Vic sometimes partakes in murder-for-hire plots, but when a client uses blackmail to get what they want, Vic has no choice but to assemble a group of artists desperate for cash to assist in pulling off this latest job. With a private detective sniffing around and the job becoming more dangerous by the minute, Vic realises the whole situation could get sticky fast.
