End of the Vine

Acton Manning
4.01/5 (8 ratings)
From doctor and sommelier Acton Manning comes the story about a brilliant detective caught in a twisted tale of psychological suspense, eerie coincidence, grief, and the path to redemption - in the #1 Amazon Best Selling Wine novel End of the Vine.

Amanda Turner's death is ruled a suicide.. . Police have closed the case, but San Francisco Detective Daniel Winters disagrees. Dan's rationale is far from handwoven rope, freshly painted room, and pieces of prosciutto at the scene... all remind him of Friulano, a distinctive Italian white wine. When another death follows, Dan is surprised by the richness of detail and is convinced of foul play. A fatal jump is paired with a distinct sense of place and connects him to the terroir, aromas, and complexity of a sublime Australian Coonawarra Cabernet.

As a young man, Dan was a rising sommelier with a talent for uncovering worlds of context, subtlety, and complexity in a glass of wine. Fast forward fifteen years, he is a legendary detective solving the most complex of mysteries. Dan's little known secret? He literally has a nose for crime. Dan savors the rich, layered sensory experiences that become his leads and evidence.

But can a serial killer craft murders with the same complexity that Dan uses to solve them? Can the will and the senses of victims be manipulated? To prevent the next tragedy, Dan embarks on a journey of a lifetime, through remote terroirs and meandering vineyards to arrive where the story a cold, dark cellar where a little boy went mad.

"...definitely one of the most original psychological novels with such unorthodox yet thoughtful plot development."

"Acton Manning did a wonderful job engaging all senses with his words. I will always prefer a book to a movie, but I could *see* this story."

"If you love wine, food, travel and murder mysteries, you'll love this book."

"As a wine lover, I loved the detailed references and in depth knowledge about wine … everything wrapped in an intelligent plot with an original murder case."

"I drink wine and thoroughly enjoy it, but this work is an ode to wine, a meditation, a love story focusing on its properties, and the smells and tastes in the vine from the richness and properties of the soil and area in which it’s grown."
