An immersion
in French countryside, gourmet attitude, and light-hearted mystery.
Two amateur sleuths
gumshoe around French wine country, where money, deceit, jealousy, inheritance
and greed are all the ingredients needed for crime. Master winemaker Benjamin
Cooker and his sidekick Virgile Lanssien solve mysteries in vineyards with a
dose of Epicurean enjoyment of fine food and beverage. Each story is a homage
to wine and winemakers, as well as a mystery.
In Treachery
in Bordeaux, barrels at the prestigious grand cru Moniales Haut-Brion wine
estate in Bordeaux have been contaminated. Is it negligence or
sabotage?
In Grand Cru
Heist, Benjamin Cooker’s world gets turned upside down one night in Paris. He retreats to the region around Tours to recover. He and his
assistant Virgile turn PI to solve two murders and very particular heist.
In Nightmare
in Burgundy, a dream wine tasting trip to Burgundy that turns into a
troubling nightmare when Cooker and his assistant stumble upon a mystery
revolving around messages from another era.

to forget and oddly addictive" (ForeWord Reviews).
