Deadly Tasting
Alaux Jean-Pierre, Balen Noël
When wine tasting turns to murder.
A serial killer is on
the loose in Bordeaux. A local chief detective calls wine expert
Benjamin Cooker to the crime scene of a brutal murder. The killer has
left a strange calling card: twelve wine glasses lined up in a
semi-circle with the first one filled with wine. Cooker is charged with
the task of identifying the fabulous grand cru and is astonished by what
he learns. A second victim is found, with two glasses filled. Is the
killer intentionally leaving clues about his victims and his motives?
Memories are jogged about the complicated history of Bordeaux during
Nazi occupation. It was a dark time: weinfuhrers ruled the wine trade,
while collaborationists and paramilitary organizations spread terror
throughout the region. In present-day wine country, time is running out.
Will Cooker and his young assistant Virgile solve the mystery before
all twelve glasses are full?
Jean-Pierre Alaux is a magazine,
radio and television journalist when he is not writing novels in
southwestern France. He is a genuine wine and food lover, and won the
Antonin Carême prize for his cookbook La Truffe sur le Soufflé, which he
wrote with the chef Alexis Pélissou.
Noël Balen lives in Paris,
where he shares his time between writing, making re- cords, and
lecturing on music. He plays bass, is a music critic and has authored a
number of books about musicians in addition to his novel and short-story
writing.
