Disaster strikes the vineyards in Alsace. Vintners are
tense
and old grudges surface. The Winemaker Detective's
reputation
is on the line as he must find the cause before the late
harvest starts.
Winter is in the air in Alsace and local customs are
sowing
trouble, piquing the curiosity of the famous winemaker
from
Bordeaux, Benjamin Cooker. While the wine expert and his
assistant Virgile settle into their hotel in the old city
of
Colmar, distinguished vineyards are attacked. Is it
revenge?
The plot thickens when estates with no apparent
connection to
one another suffer the same sabotage just days prior to
the
late harvest. All of Alsace is in turmoil, plunged in the
grip
of suspicion that traces its roots back to the darkest
hours of
the German occupation. As he crosses back and forth into
Germany from the Alsace he thought he knew so well,
Cooker
discovers a land of superstition, rivalry, and jealousy.
Between tastings of the celebrated wines, he is drawn
into the
lives and intrigues of the inhabitants.
