“Bill Shepard’s first thriller combines diplomacy, terrorism and high stakes politics… A great read!”
–-Paul Laxalt, former United States Senator
Text-to-Speech and Lending: Enabled
“Bill Shepard and I served as diplomats in France, he as Consul General in Bordeaux, and his knowledge of that region… is encyclopedic. He has adroitly used this knowledge to weave a fascinating story. If you like Bordeaux wine, read Vintage Murder.”
–-Evan Galbraith, former United States Ambassador to France
Here’s the set-up:
Vintage Murder is set in Paris and Bordeaux, France. It takes you behind the scenes of high stakes diplomacy, and into the shadow world of ETA terrorism. Vintage Murder is the first in the series of four “diplomatic mysteries” which have appeared to date.
In Vintage Murder, American diplomat Robbie Cutler witnesses the murder of America’s leading wine critic at a vintage dinner at the Willard Hotel in Washington. Returning to the Consulate in Bordeaux, he is threatened by the Basque ETA, “the last active terrorist network in Western Europe.” A love story ensues, set against the scenic glories of France, as the lovely Sophie Marceau, a journalist, helps Cutler discover that the Washington murder is linked with terrorist threats against Bordeaux’s famous vineyards. They explore the wine regions of Bordeaux, attend a reception at storied Château Margaux, and visit Lourdes, Montségur, and the prehistoric Caves at Lascaux,.
Robbie Cutler and Sylvie Marceau must stop the ETA killers, and the stakes are raised with the visit of a prominent United States Senator of Basque origin. He and Robbie Cutler are both targeted for assassination, in a thrilling conclusion that takes place in the storied wine city of St. Emilion. And you will be present at a special dinner reception at the American Embassy in Paris, as you match wits with Robbie – and the ETA.
“Vintage Murder has that tone and pacing of those good mysteries of the past. I really enjoyed the story. When Robbie Cutler tries to solve an American wine writer’s death he becomes a target for murder himself. The story traverses France and Spain – you’ll enjoy the scenery. I did! Robbie’s a smooth customer and Sylvie certainly agrees. I liked the romantic thread of Robbie and Sylvie’s developing relationship. A little mystery, a little romance…a good read!“
–Nancy L. Naigle
About the Author
I have enjoyed writing about wine, and diplomacy. But one night, when I was on duty in the Executive Secretariat of the State Department, I wondered why there had been no diplomatic sleuths. Career diplomats see so many sources of information, that the connection of diplomacy and crime solving seemed natural. And so, on retiring after service at five diplomatic missions abroad, and a number of Washington assignments, I created a new mystery genre, the “diplomatic mystery.” There are now four novels in the series, with Robbie Cutler, a career diplomat, as the protagonist. “Vintage Murder” is the first in this series.
