Dead Man's Wine

di Parker French (Autore)

Lucky Publishing, 2023

One week before the swanky, vino-drenched Flight of Fancy Charity Auction in Sonoma, California, someone decides that blending grape varieties just isn't thrilling enough and goes full-blown murder mystery. A shady character—who apparently had a side hustle crafting counterfeit bottles of extremely pricey wine—ends up very dead. And by "very dead," we mean unrecognizable: wallet gone, car missing, computer swiped, and face… well, let's just say the killer took "faceless" quite literally. Enter Sarah McKee, our wine expert and (probably) the only person who can sniff out a wine's origin and potentially a murder victim. But instead of a solid lead, all she finds is a crumpled piece of paper in the dead guy's pocket—a bunch of random numbers, circles, and checkmarks that looks like the world's least fun Sudoku. Then, as if one mysterious murder weren't enough to pair with a nice Merlot, a second victim shows up. This time, the murder weapon points directly at Sarah's good friend Zach Sullivan, who's already knee-deep in his own woes: thanks to his dad's gambling habits. And to make matters worse, Zach's the only one with even a whiff of motive for offing both victims. Determined to clear Zach's name, Sarah teams up with a smokin' hot sheriff who follows the rulebook like it's his life's work. Together, they sift through Sonoma's secrets, hoping the counterfeit crew behind this wine scheme will slip up before they get corked themselves. But as they uncover the twisted plot, Sarah realizes the list from the pocket isn't just a grocery list of fine vintages—it's the key to unmasking the whole operation. Now, the question is: can Sarah connect the dots, reveal the killer at the auction, and clear Zach's name before they're all served up with a sinister side of danger? Grab your glass—it's about to get bubbly.
