Beneath this magnificent setting lurks an unseemly underbelly of theft, fraud, deceit...and cold-blooded murder.

Truchaud launches an investigation that takes him deep into a hidden world where things are not what they seem.  But Truchaud's search for answers only leads to more questions:  What is hidden behind the cellar walls?  Who wanted his brother dead?  Why does Inspector Molleau have a loaded pistol in his desk drawer?

As he digs deeper and deeper into the mystery, Truchaud discovers that, for some people, Richebourg, quite literally, is a wine to die for....
