    Vinnie has always been different. But Vinnie is a survivor… 
    A childhood accident robbed Vinnie of his memories, making him sensitive and anxious, and his difference soon attracted bullies. If it wasn’t for his family and his brother Frank, Vinnie wouldn’t have survived. 
    But as the boys grow up, and after the devastating loss of their parents, Vinnie finds himself increasingly involved in violent situations whenever he’s with Frank. Is this the type of man he’s become, or can the love of a remarkable woman teach him to embrace life? 
    When Vinnie is accused of a terrible crime, and looks set for a long stretch behind bars, fragments of his memory start to return and he begins to unravel his past. 
    Who was his mother? What kind of a man is his brother, Frank? And why does death surround them?

Abandoning his grapevines, he sets out to solve the crimes - and confront his damaged past - before someone else he loves is found dead ... beside a bottle of his own wine.PRAISE FOR FOUR DOGS MISSING:'I can confirm that no dog has been harmed in this rich debut, but villains sure have.

    They took his liberty. Now they want his life. 
     
    Black-ops legend Christopher Wren prevented three major terror attacks on the homeland, and his reward? Dumped in a CIA black site for the rest of his life.

    Because this attack is a false flag. The killers are claiming responsibility in Wren's name, and the CIA believe them - now the full weight of the US government is coming for those he cares most about. 
     
    No one is safe. Everyone is a target. Only Wren can expose the true killers and end the witch hunt, but the CIA will never give him that chance - not when they believe he masterminded it all... 
     
    They think he's a terrorist. Maybe he better start acting like one...
