      About This Book

      Leland Montgomery's death was deemed accidental, but when his daughter Lucie returns home from France, she finds the once-thriving family vineyard run down, collapsing under huge debt. Lucie's godfather warns her that Leland's demise may have been the result of an attempt to force the sale of the vineyard. Her extravagant brother and rebellious sister are determined to sell the estate, and there's something suspicious about the vintner her father hired right before he died. When another oenophile turns up dead, asphyxiated in a tank of Merlot, Lucie—the lone holdout preventing the vineyard's sale—realizes she's next in line for an "accident." Can she trust in the proverb in vino veritas—in wine there is truth—as she attempts to survive a very bad year for Merlot?
