The Vintage Caper by Peter Mayle
A globetrotting detective story, filled with the culinary delights and entertaining characters that have made Peter Mayle our most treasured chronicler of French life. The Vintage Caper begins high above Los Angeles with a world-class heist at the impressive wine cellar of lawyer Danny Roth. Enter Sam Levitt, former lawyer and wine connoisseur, who follows leads to Bordeaux and Provence. The unraveling of the ingenious crime is threaded through with Mayle's seductive renderings of France's sensory delights--from a fine Lynch-Bages to the bouillabaisse of Marseille--guaranteed to charm and inform even the most sophisticated palates.Peter Mayle worked in advertising for fifteen years before fleeing to Provence in 1975 to write his best-selling books A Year in Provence and Toujours Provence. He has contributed to a variety of newspapers and journals, and his work has been translated into seventeen languages. He and his wife live in Provence.
