Publisher's Synopsis
Let bestselling author T.A. Williams whisk you away to gorgeous Tuscany in this gripping murder mystery featuring a retired DCI and his loyal companion, Oscar.🐶 It really is murder in paradise!
A picturesque scene… 🍇
As grape harvest season rolls around, retired DCI Dan Armstrong and his beloved canine companion, Oscar, are looking forward to a nice quiet September. But when Dan is contacted about a mysterious death out in the Tuscan Hills, it seems that work must come before pleasure.
A suspicious find… 🔎
At first it appears that the body found lying outside a prestigious winery has been the result of a tragic hit and run. But then the police discover that this is a cover up for murder…but who would kill in such an idyllic spot and why?
A face from the past? 😎
As Dan investigates, he meets famous ex rock star, Digger, owner of the winery and prestigious Podere Dei Santi hotel. Digger's guests include wealthy businessmen, tourists, and, among them, suspected mafia hitmen. But more significant for Dan is a face he knows only too well from his own past and he soon finds that wine isn't the only thing fermenting around him.
Could this murder be the start of a gangland war, or do the killer's motives lie much closer to home? Will complications from Dan's past return to trouble his future? Either way, Dan and Oscar must work around the clock to solve another mystery.
