I'm looking forward to many more novels in this intriguing new series." --Marcia Muller, New York Times-bestselling author of the Sharon McCone mysteries"Napa Valley, the good life, sunny skies, fine cuisine, and fleshy reds. But, isn't there something murky at the bottom of the bottle? Yes, and it is murder, no less. The mystery of wine . . . If a wine does not have some mystery to it, we call it plonk. Sharpshooter is not plonk. A crime novel with taste." --Kermit Lynch, author of Adventures on the Wine Route"Those of us who enjoy an authentic look into another culture while reading a mystery are going to enjoy joining Nadia Gordon in the wild, weird wine industry." --Tony Hillerman, New York Times-bestselling author of the Leaphorn and Chee novels
