Leana Sonnenberg didn’t usually accompany her writer husband, Jacob, on his trips. Then, the one time she does go with him to a vineyard in Northern Virginia, she disappears. The local police don’t have a clue, so Jacob hires Al Pennyback to stick his PI nose into the case. Al finds himself looking into everyone’s background, and what he finds is far more deadly than he thought–and, it has nothing to do with wine.
