title

Death in a Wine Dark Sea

fullDescription

Imagine a sophisticated thirty-two-year old Nancy Drew who has a career as a wine magazine writer, is not interested in monogamy, and has the kind of sex appeal only an independent woman can possess. Meet Jean Applequist.

Though she despises the groom, Jean boards an elegant yacht in San Francisco Bay for the wedding of her good friend Diane and wealthy real estate developer Martin Wingo. But things go terribly wrong, the evening ending in tragedy rather than celebration when, after exchanging vows, Wingo disappears into the bay. Diane asks Jean to investigate Martin's murder out of fear that the police will uncover too many of his secrets. Jean agrees but discovers it's not easy to find out who killed a blackmailer and womanizer: the list of potential suspects is long.

Joining forces with the young and geeky Zeppo, Martin's former assistant, and armed with the details of Martin's operation, Jean soon finds herself way ahead of the San Francisco homicide detectives—a dangerous place to be. Jean and Zeppo's questioning of Martin's victims elicits strong reactions, from fear to rage to attempted murder, that endanger them both and force Jean to fight for her life—twice.

     April 2, 2012
     Magazine editor King’s absorbing first mystery introduces San Francisco wine critic Jean Applequist, an unapologetic, tell-it-like-it-is gal with a penchant for wine and men. Jean tempers her attitude on occasion, like the nuptials of her closest friend, Diane, aboard a yacht in San Francisco Bay. On her best behavior during the ceremony, Jean tries to believe that the unscrupulous groom, Martin Wingo, who has a reputation for womanizing and blackmail, has reformed. Shortly after Diane and Martin exchange their vows, someone tosses Martin overboard, and so begins a tale of lust, greed, and revenge. Jean teams with Martin’s former right-hand man, Jay “Zeppo” Zeppetello, and together they dig deep into Martin’s blackmail schemes, though they soon find themselves in danger from a long list of Martin’s enemies. The brisk plot offers surprises even a seasoned reader won’t see coming. Lively, well-drawn supporting characters add to the fun. Agent: Sally van Haitsma, van Haitsma Literary.
