Roses, Wine, & Murder - In the City of Steeples 

is an intriguing, madcap adventure laced with New England history, scenic vineyards, and a harrowing Coast Guard rescue.

   Roxanne Samson, a sweet and sensible gardening expert, is targeted by a mysterious assailant after a man is found dead in her city garden.

Georgi Algarve, a flamboyant wine aficionado, becomes deeply entangled in the mayhem, yet carries on, serving wine dinners at the exclusive Vinho Verde Wine Bar. The endearing duo test Detective Morrison's resolve and complicate his case with their sleuthing escapades.

   Morrison must juggle multiple suspects including a goth library worker and deviant doppelgangers. The villain foils the investigation utilizing New London’s labyrinth streets while manipulating citizens of the City of Steeples.

   There is plenty of flair and foul play in this modern-day, fast-paced mystery.
