Description
Walking home late one night from a party, Napa Valley restaurant owner Sunny McCoskey happens upon the shocking sight of a murdered woman, bound and hanging from the tree of a local vineyard. Shortly before, she'd seen a truck leaving a local winery, driving without its headlights on. Was it the murderer? And did the murderer see her as well? Sunny McCoskey's investigation takes the professional chef and amateur sleuth across the paths of a whole new array of colorful characters and suspects, including a hardy contingent of Northern California surfers and a shady community of houseboaters.
