Download or read book Murder and Mayhem in the Napa Valley written by Todd L. Shulman. This book was released on 2012-08-14. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The picturesque vineyards of California's Napa Valley, one of the world's premier tourist destinations, disguise a tangled history of lawlessness, depravity and frontier justice. Some crimes were committed over debts, some for retribution and others in the name of love. Famed photographer Eadweard Muybridge killed a man for seducing his wife but was acquitted. Other criminals were not so lucky and met the gallows, like murderer William Roe, the state's final public execution. From the Pomo massacre--the first criminal case heard by the California Supreme Court--to the cold cases that continue to haunt the region, Napa Police Detective Todd Shulman decants the crimes of the Napa Valley, memorializing the victims and honoring the efforts of local law enforcement.

Book Synopsis Murder Alfresco by : Nadia Gordon
Download or read book Murder Alfresco written by Nadia Gordon. This book was released on 2010-07-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A disturbing murder scene makes a Napa Valley chef hungry for justice in this cozy mystery by the author of Death by the Glass. Returning from a party late one night, chef Sunny McCoskey is the first to discover the body of a murdered woman left outside a local winery. Shortly before, she’d seen a truck leaving a local winery, driving without its headlights on. Was it the murderer? And did the murderer see her as well? Thrust into the center of a crime that has rattled the tranquil Napa Valley, Sunny pursues her own investigation, a journey that takes her from northern California’s wine country to the insular houseboat community of Sausalito along the San Francisco Bay. Uncovering a tangle of secret liaisons, Sunny closes in on the murderer, who responds with one more desperate act. With Murder Alfresco, author Nadia Gordon again takes us into the heart of the food and wine culture of the Napa and Sonoma Valleys, and introduces us to an array of irreverent characters. As the Los Angeles Times said, “Sunny is a welcome, energetic heroine. . . . She and her pals are fun to be around.” Praise for Sharpshooter “[Sunny] is bright, tenacious, and extremely likable, and Gordon paints a vivid portrait of the Napa Valley and its wine-and-food culture. I’m looking forward to many more novels in this intriguing new series.” —Marcia Muller, New York Times–bestselling author of the Sharon McCone mysteries “Napa Valley, the good life, sunny skies, fine cuisine, and fleshy reds. But, isn’t there something murky at the bottom of the bottle? Yes, and it is murder, no less. The mystery of wine . . . If a wine does not have some mystery to it, we call it plonk. Sharpshooter is not plonk. A crime novel with taste.” —Kermit Lynch, author of Adventures on the Wine Route “Those of us who enjoy an authentic look into another culture while reading a mystery are going to enjoy joining Nadia Gordon in the wild, weird wine industry.” —Tony Hillerman, New York Times–bestselling author of the Leaphorn and Chee novels
