Unusual book for Francis...horses aren't as big a part of the storyline as usual...it mainly circulates in the world of...Wine. A guy with a sensitive palate for fine Wine tries to track down a murderer in a very unusual way...I actually found the background about the different taste signatures and methods of production and what not very interesting. Good one, but definitely not the usual Francis.

An Arab shiek killed by a runaway horse trailer, a sad widower who owns a wine shop, a gorgon who runs a restaurant, a steely-eyed police inspector, an even steelier-minded ultra-private investigator, a horse trainer's wife, and an investigation into forged wine labels, and stolen truckloads of the best Scotch, all meld into an entertaining and suspenseful read as only Francis can do it!
