In the heart of France, a daring heist unfolds. Two thousand bottles of the world’s most coveted wine vanishes from a prestigious Domaine in Burgundy. The world of fine wine is thrown into chaos.
Enter Catalina Syrah and Nicholas Bonhomme – lovers and espionage agents with a taste for the finer things in life. Their mission? Ensnare the thieves before the wine vanishes into the black market. But a deadly threat looms over them. An unseen enemy, a traitor lurking within the web of international intelligence.
From a chilling assassination attempt at the American Library in Paris, to a heart-stopping shootout amidst the haunting labyrinth of the Paris catacombs, and finally a high-stakes take down at a heavily fortified villa–every step draws them closer to the thief, and deeper into danger.
Can they recover the stolen wine, or will they become the next victims of a deadly game of deception and intrigue?
Review
The book is an easy quick read with likeable characters, and a few twists and turns that keep you turning the pages, plus lots of lush descriptions of Paris and France – the author, who is American, clearly knows France well.
This latest adventure, the third in the series of international best-selling books from Eglinski, features a dollop of romance, a dash of dastardly villainous behaviour and a plot involving a wine heist that moves along at a good pace.
Eglinski’s latest book is a fun, engaging and light read. It’s one to enjoy with a glass of wine, a relaxing read that will appeal to Francophiles and those who love adventure books.
