    This is a coming of age story that finds our main character trapped in a courtroom drama that lingers on the verge of a thriller.  
    Is Kevin Templeton a mild-mannered citizen trying to escape a childhood that is littered with controversy?  
    Kevin Templeton's life begins as an orphan. Next, during his early childhood, he jumped between foster homes and living on the streets. Then in his teens, a stint in juvenile detention, and multiple run-ins with the law. 
    Present day, Kevin Templeton is on trial for thirteen counts of insurance fraud and is being hounded by a scrupulous FBI agent for murder. Sharon Alverson believes she is on the trail of a serial killer as Kevin's family members keep popping up deceased with only death certificates signed by Kevin as evidence. 
    The question: Who is Kevin Templeton? 
    Con Artist? Scammer? Street Hustler? Schemer? Or! Just maybe he is hiding something even darker, more sinister. 
    Then again, Kevin Templeton may just be trying to make things right. A good guy just trying to overcome a life of trouble after growing up in foster homes and, in between those foster homes, short stints living on the streets. Perhaps he is a successful businessman and philanthropist. Could it be true? That behind every dark cloud is a silver lining. Do we have to be labeled a product of our childhood?

But the celebration turns to chaos when the vineyard's award-winning winemaker vanishes without a trace, leaving behind only a single broken wine glass and a mysterious stain that looks suspiciously like blood.

To clear her name and save the legacy they built together, Vivienne must investigate the close-knit community of vintners she thought she knew. With help from her truffle-hunting pig, Pinot, and a charming wine journalist with a nose for trouble, Vivienne uncovers a cellar full of secrets. From sabotaged harvests and counterfeit vintages to decades-old family feuds and secret wine caves, every clue reveals another layer of deception. Can Vivienne solve the mystery before her time runs out and the vineyard's final vintage becomes her own?
