Book excerpt: A vineyard becomes a crime scene in this compelling mystery: “Truly surprising twists and turns . . . A brilliant, twisted plot” (James Byron Huggins, international bestselling author of Leviathan). When northern California’s idyllic Napa Valley is shattered by the shooting deaths of two men, investigative-reporter-turned-wine-editor Dante Rath seizes the chance to salvage his sagging career. One of the dead is the winery’s top investor, a high-tech genius, who was shot and killed by the winery’s owner—who in turn was gunned down by Napa County sheriff deputies. At the murder scene, Dante encounters Carmen Carelli, the lawyer for the deceased investor, whose case files he rifles after sharing wine and other pleasures.

Doggedly pursuing the story, Dante uncovers fraud, deceit, and a toxic scandal certain to shake the wine world. But he must stay alive to publish the story . . .
