โฆ Synopsis
In the famous vineyards of Provence, blood has begun to flow like wine
The vineyards of the Willesford Wine Group occupy a particularly choice section of French wine country. From the grapes of Provence, the owners of this impeccably managed syndicate have squeezed international fame and fortune. Next to their spectacular estate lies the petite Peregrine Winery, whose shadowy owners suddenly make repeated requests to buy Willesfordโs propertyโraising their offer each time. Unable to discern Peregrineโs motive for these persistent attempts, the Willesford group sends for Londonโs gourmet detective, a sleuth with impeccable reasoning and an even finer palate. When he arrives in Provence, he doesnโt even have time to sample the pรขtรฉ before he finds a dead man leaning against a cart, dripping blood into the fine French terroir. For the winemakers of Provence, this will be an excellent year for murder.
