On moving day, Mallard is called to investigate a murder across the Bay in Haight Ashbury district.  Matson decides to go see Mallard, but on the way she discovers four dead bodies on her own.  These bodies are different.  They all died of radiation poisoning from a nuclear bomb.  How did they get nuclear fallout in San Francisco? 

Mallard and Matson come across the fact that Japan did have the nuclear bomb and exploded a bomb in Korea on April 12, 1945.  The United States according to Mallard knew this and had to change history.  Death by Chocolate includes: spies, government conspiracies, romance, and a hint of altered states.
