The deeper the roots, the darker the secrets.

International wine consultant Sarah McKee returns from Europe to tragic news: her dear friend and mentor, Landon Harris, is gone. Officially, it's a heart attack. Sarah doesn't believe it for a second.

Landon had been desperate to reach her—frantic calls, cryptic messages, all pointing to a secret he was trying to uncover: the whereabouts of a love he lost decades ago. Now, he's silenced.

When Sarah starts asking questions, Landon's smooth-talking son warns her to stay out of it. His loyal assistant is suddenly fired. And then the inquest confirms it: Landon didn't die naturally.

He was murdered.

With the help of a sharp-witted best friend, a local bartender with a past, and a by-the-book sheriff, Sarah digs into Landon's legacy—and into the ruins of a ghost winery that holds the truth.

But someone else is hunting for that truth, too. Someone willing to kill to keep it buried.

An heir is missing. A killer is watching.
And time is running out.
