What to expect
**THE ENZO FILES: PETER MAY'S ADDICTIVE COLD-CASE SERIES**
**'A wonderful protagonist' MYSTERY BOOKS REVIEW**
**'Fans of Cold Case will relish The Critic' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY**
In the second instalment in the Enzo Files, a murder mystery in a vineyard serves Enzo Macleod a perfectly chilled conundrum.
GAILLAC, SOUTH-WEST FRANCE.
An unsolved case.
Gil Petty, America's most celebrated wine critic, is found strung up in a vineyard, dressed in the ceremonial robes of the Order of the Divine Bottle and pickled in wine.
An un-cracked code.
For forensic expert Enzo Macleod, the key to this unsolved murder lies in decoding Petty's mysterious reviews - which could make or break a vineyard's reputation.
An uncorked criminal.
Enzo finds that beneath the tranquil façade of French viticulture lurks a back-stabbing community riddled with rivalry - and someone who is ready to stop him even if they have to kill again.
