About
Fans of fast-paced adventure, thought-provoking storytelling and hard-boiled detectives like Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe, will love Pinot Noir: A WWII Novel, inspired by true events.
In 1940, German forces churn bucolic Alsace, France into a shattered landscape. Against that unsettled backdrop, Nazis raid the cellar of a winemaker who had poisoned a case of his best pinot noir to spite the invaders. The wine leaves with the Nazis and the adventure begins. Every chapter of Pinot Noir tells the story of one of those 12 poisoned bottles and the lives they change forever.
When Mads Molnar, a psychologist-turned detective, gets a call from the Gestapo, they make it clear that his own life depends on his recovering the bottles. He's already been, given the death penalty by the Arrow Cross-Hungary's fascist party-but the Gestapo will grant a pardon and exit papers to neutral Sweden if he succeeds.
But, Molnar has a 300-pound problem. Wolfram Bastick, a brutal Nazi detective whose father was, killed by the wine, is also on the case. As Bastick races to find his father's killer, Molnar scrambles to foil him. Meanwhile, Bastick's mesmerizing fiancé, Marilyn Ghetz, is plotting to murder him for reasons of her own. Molnar must recover the wine, win over Bastick's fiancé, escape the Nazis and make it out of Germany without getting killed.
