One year after moving to his late wife's Tuscan hometown of Gravigna, Nico Doyle has fully settled into life there, seeing friends in the course of daily errands and helping to serve and test recipes at his in-laws' restaurant. But the town is shaken up by the arrival of wine critic Michele Mantelli in his flashy Jaguar.

Mantelli's lavish, larger-than-life, and often vindictive personality has made him many enemies, and when he is poisoned, Perillo has a headache of a high-profile murder on his hands-and once again turns to Nico for help"--
