Ton of Trouble

Talk about a cabernet with body: when the Rubenesque Josephine Fuller pays a friendly visit to porn-producing Napa Valley vintner Wolf Lambert, she discovers a murder victim in one of his wine barrels in Lynne Murray's A Ton of Trouble. Keeping her day job for philanthropist Alicia Madrone but accepting a bit of remuneration from Wolf for her troubles, Josephine embarks on a quest to find the killer and uncovers drugs, snipers, winery feuds, fetish films and an anti-abortion ""baby mill"" with typical good humor and panache.
