A fragrant field, a festival in full swing...and a banker about to take their last breath.
The vineyards of Vista del Vino are buzzing with excitement over the annual wine and food festival, but when a local banker is found dead in the middle of a picturesque lavender farm, the celebration takes an unexpected turn.
Former investigative journalist Casey Nolan thought she was trading high-stakes reporting for a quieter life in wine country, but trouble just has a way of finding her. With her teenage son, Liam, back in school, Casey's new investigative partner is none other than Ranger, Liam's ever-loyal diabetic alert dog, who proves he's just as skilled at sniffing out clues as he is at keeping Liam safe.
As Casey peels back layers of small-town secrets, she discovers a web of financial intrigue that could shake Vista del Vino to its core. Between balancing single motherhood, writing her novel, and taste-testing her mother's latest gluten-free culinary creations, Casey's got her hands full. But when the killer gets too close for comfort, Casey must act fast before someone else takes their last breath.
