When classic vintages and deadly toxins don't mix, it's a recipe for murder!

Harlan travels home to visit his ailing uncle. The family estate, Thane Vineyards, located in the secluded Anderson Valley, once founded on pride and tradition, has become plagued with secrets and shady business transactions. Harlan soon encounters clues that lead to scandalous affairs, dangerous rivals, and betrayals spanning generations. Sifting through the detritus of his uncle's once idyllic lifestyle, Harlan inches ever closer to uncovering a dangerous truth: Someone will go to any length to keep their past hidden...

"Harlan, these vintages go back twenty-five... thirty years."

"Yes. A tradition initiated by my grandfather."

Jessie shivered. "It's cold and creepy in here. Think I'll wait outside."

I gazed around one last time, taking mental inventory of the dusty wine racks and casks. Nothing appeared missing or out of place. And yet, something continued to nag at me...

Stepping back outside into the full light of day, I tugged at the heavy wooden door. The hinges resisted, creaking and moaning, then swung shut with a deep, dull thud. I reset the crusty padlock, knowing it wouldn't be long before I'd have to disrupt the slumbering wine-cave once again...

Set in the quiet beauty of California's northern wine country, A Vintage to Die For is the first installment in a challenging new series of whodunits filled with plot twists and colorful characters. If you enjoy suspenseful mysteries that keep you guessing, then this is the perfect story to sit back with a glass of your favorite vintage and indulge in a puzzling maze of murder and intrigue.
