Book excerpt: Cabernet Capers is a story about two unscrupulous Napa Valley, CA vintners, Duilio and Riccardo Paganelli, identical twins with identically huge egos, who will do anything to grow their business for the wealth, power and prestige that will come along with it, including forging a relationship with organized crime, hiring assassins and killing cops or anyone else who gets in their way.On the flip side, there are two very bright, very courageous and very determined deputies of the Napa County Sheriff Department who keep getting in the way which builds frustration and tension to overflowing levels and this prompts threats of violence and then eventually the real thing with guns, rifles, bullets, bombs and knives taking center stage.At first, Detective Sergeant Derrick Chandler and Deputy Julie Styversant believe it will be sufficient to avoid bodily harm if they heighten their awareness of what's going on around them and watch each other's backs when they are out and about on duty. But as things escalate, they realize this may not be enough to stay on the green side of the sod, so they take on some new partners who are also very smart and courageous, four legged officers of the Napa County K-9 unit, two of which they bond with very strongly, German Shepherds named Duke and Champ.This is a tale that has something for just about everybody, suspense, intrigue, violence, mayhem, humor, romance and even a surprise ending. It's a good read and an excellent way to while away some relaxing hours. Enjoy.

Download or read book The Marseille Caper written by Peter Mayle and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2012-11-06 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lovable rogue and sleuth extraordinaire Sam Levitt is back in another beguiling, as-only-Peter-Mayle-can-write-it romp through the South of France. At the end of The Vintage Caper, Sam had just carried off a staggering feat of derring-do in the heart of Bordeaux, infiltrating the ranks of the French elite to rescue a stolen, priceless wine collection. With the questionable legality of the adventure—and the threat of some very powerful enemies!—Sam thought it’d be a while before he returned to France, especially with the charms of the beautiful Elena Morales to keep him in Los Angeles. But when the immensely wealthy Francis Reboul—the victim of Sam’s last heist but someone who knows talent when he sees it—asks our hero to take a job in Marseille, it’s impossible for Sam and Elena to resist the possibility of further excitement . . . to say nothing of the pleasures of the region. Soon the two are enjoying the coastal sunshine and the delectable food and wine for which Marseille is known. Yet as a competition over Marseille’s valuable waterfront grows more hotly disputed, Sam, representing Reboul, finds himself in the middle of an increasingly intrigue-ridden and dangerous real-estate grab, with thuggish gangsters on one side and sharklike developers on the other. Will Sam survive this caper unscathed? Will he live to enjoy another bowl of bouillabaisse? All will be revealed—with luck, savvy, and a lot of help from Sam’s friends—in the novel’s wonderfully satisfying climax.

Download or read book The Wauwinet Caper written by Hunter Laroche and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2016-05-06 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This story takes place on Nantucket in the early 1970s, where Mr. Winship Cate, who lives in Wauwinet, is prompted by his children to clean out a lot of clutter from his home after his wife Mary has passed away. This task will take up to a month to complete the way his friends and family have sectioned up the house to attack the different projects. The last of the projects to tackle is above the garage. A large beautiful room with windows showing off the fantastic views in every direction. The door leading into the attic has not been opened in the last twenty years and the room is filled with furniture that was left behind from the previous owners after the sale of the house to Winship in the fifties. After the room has been cleared out and all the items are sorted for either a garage sale, the dump or an antique auction, Winship easily parts with all of the belongings except for a beautiful leather chair, a reading lamp and ottoman along with a side table that he asks the workers leave behind for him. Winship enters the attic area amazed at what a beautiful and enormous space the room is. With the windows open, a nice breeze blows across and the sunlight shines in. As he settles into the leather chair to take it all in, he tries to use the lamp but the bulb seems to be burnt out. He retreats to the main house and finds a replacement. After removing the burnt out bulb and placing it on the floor it rolls into a dark corner eave. Realizing that it would be disrespectable to leave it like a piece of trash since the room has just been spotlessly cleaned, mopped and waxed by his friends, he kneels down peering into the darkened cove. Not wanting to stick his bare hand inside, due to the possibility of a spider bite, he locates a pair of tongs from the kitchen and a flashlight. Winship manages to snag the bulb, but when he shines the light beam into the darkened cavern, he notices a box tucked way back. At first he thought it was just part of the wood frame of the garage but after a closer look he now sees it is a box covered in an old worn cloth almost out of reach. After a few attempts Winship manages to remove it. As he sets it upon his lap, while sitting under the lamp in the leather chair, he carefully opens it. There is not much inside. Or is there? What could possibly entice Winship to start an adventure that would take him from Nantucket to Fort Lauderdale where he joins his friend Simon Gilmore of Dartmouth England? Discover why they meet in Florida and charter a boat to sail down to the Exuma Islands. How could this box and its contents possibly lead to a murder on Nantucket? Ah, the plot thickens.
