Zero Proof

Too much of a good thing...can be murder.

Sarah McKee has built her reputation on tasting the truth in a glass. But when a new client’s “zero proof” wine sends her into a haze of hallucinations, missing memories, and total embarrassment, Sarah wakes to find herself tangled in more than a hangover. Her client, Chris Moreno, is dead. His wife is furious. The police are certain Sarah is the killer. And the townspeople Sarah thought were friends are suddenly looking at her like she’s a monster.

With help from her steady friend Zach, her sharp-eyed detective pal Kelley, and a cryptic lab book hidden in a family safe, Sarah starts piecing together a deadly cocktail of poison, betrayal, and buried secrets. But every answer only opens a bigger question: was Chris poisoned by his own invention, or did someone close to him plan his death long before Sarah ever took that first sip?

In wine country, one bad vintage can ruin a label. One deadly one can ruin a life.
