A Sarah McKee Mystery

A week before the fabulous Flight of Fancy Charity Auction in Sonoma, California, someone kills a counterfeiter concocting fakes of very expensive wine. Wine expert Sarah McKee is called in to help identify the victim—if she can. Whoever killed him took his wallet, car, and computer—as well as his face. What they didn’t take was a list in the dead man’s pocket—a mystifying series of numbers, circles and checkmarks.

International wine consultant Sarah McKee comes home from an extended business trip to discover her elderly friend Landon Harris has died unexpectedly. Heart attack? Sarah doesn't buy it. Something had been troubling Landon. He had called her numerous times when she was in Europe and sent a letter, asking her to undertake a search for him. And now he's dead. Sarah suspects foul play. But when she starts asking questions, Landon's son, Jean-Paul, warns her to quit interfering, Landon's loyal assistant is fired, and an inquest reveals the chilling truth.

The dead don't lie. The living do. When wine consultant Sarah McKee arrives at Belle Vue Winery, the plan is simple: locate a hidden vault, assess its contents, and go home. But nothing at Belle Vue is simple. Not the legends. Not the people. And definitely not the body lying face down in a chamber that should’ve stayed sealed for centuries. There’s no treasure. Only questions. And one cold, brutal fact—Someone at the winery is a killer. Trapped on the estate and cut off from help, Sarah must unravel a web of lies before history repeats itself.
