Synopsis

Phillip Morton is the son of a yeoman farmer. His mother was a beautiful woman, yet distant. When Phillip was a young boy, his father was pushed off the edge of a slate quarry and fell to his death. A servant from the local castle is suspected, but nothing is proven.
By pure accident ten years later, Phillip meets the lord Ravenor of the local castle. A scholar and adventurer, Ravenor offers to pay for Phillip’s education if Phillip befriends his wayward nephew and provide him a good influence. Along the way, Phillip meets the mysterious Mr. Marx, Lord Ravenor’s secretary. There is something not quite right about Mr. Marx, and it peaks Phillip’s interest.

    When billionaire Houston socialite Richard Fairchild is found dead under suspicious circumstances, his wife Mariah refuses to accept the police verdict of suicide. Desperate for answers, she recruits small-town radio owners Delilah Morgan and Norma Davis to investigate. She offers the struggling entrepreneurs compensation they can’t refuse – $20,000 each, a
     bailout for their failing station, and an all-expenses paid trip to Mariah’s Hill Country resort.
     
    At first reluctant, Delilah and Norma soon find themselves embroiled in the glitzy Houston elite circles the Fairchilds inhabited. With a list of suspects who had motive to kill Richard, the duo follow a trail of lies, affairs, and shady business deals. The stakes grow ever higher as it becomes clear the Fairchild legacy – and their own lives – are in danger. From Texas hill country horse ranches to slick Houston high-rises, Delilah and Norma uncover adultery, blackmail, rivalry… and 
    murder. But will the radio sleuths solve the mystery before the killer silences them too?

We need to talk.'While estranged twins Oliver and Theo Wingfield are identical in appearance, they couldn't be more different. Theo, an extrovert verging on arrogant, was always a drifter, a nomad, operating on the fringes of the law. Oliver, intense, creative and introspective, was destined to become a winemaker. Each vintage, every bottle from Oliver's Mudgee-based label, Four Dogs Missing, sells out.And now, after fifteen years without contact, Theo unexpectedly turns up at his brother's vineyard, bearing an invitation that his twin knows nothing about. The quiet and fulfilling life that the winemaker has built for himself is about to change overnight: Theo's arrival is the catalyst for a series of murders involving those closest to Oliver. Finding himself the main suspect, Oliver soon discovers that not everyone in Mudgee supports a reclusive and unorthodox vigneron who's shied away from the community that helped him succeed.Oliver is inexorably drawn into a sinister world where poisoned liquor and stolen art leave a deadly trail. Abandoning his grapevines, he sets out to solve the crimes - and confront his damaged past - before someone else he loves is found dead ... beside a bottle of his own wine.PRAISE FOR FOUR DOGS MISSING:'I can confirm that no dog has been harmed in this rich debut, but villains sure have. Rhys Gard's novel will appeal to Chris Hammer readers who like to mix fine wine with their crime.' - CANDICE FOX, author of The Chase
