  No one innocent. No one free. Nothing sacred. 
   
  After a decade of exile precipitated by the tragic death of his mother, Will Seems returns home from Richmond to rural Southside Virginia, taking a job as deputy sheriff in a landscape given way to crime and defeat. Impoverished and abandoned, this remote land of tobacco plantations, razed forests, and boardedup homes seems stuck in the past in a state that is trying to forget its complex history and move on. 
   
  Will’s efforts to go about his life are wrecked when a mysterious, brutal homicide claims the life of an old friend, Tom Janders, forcing Will to face the true impetus for his return: not to honor his mother’s memory, but to pay a debt to a Black friend who, in an act of selfless courage years ago, protected Will and suffered permanent disfigurement for it. 
   
  Meanwhile, a man Will knows to be innocent is arrested for Tom’s murder, and despite Will’s pleas, his boss seems all too content to wrap up the case. Will must weigh his personal guilt against his public duty when the local Black community hires Bennico Watts, an unpredictable private detective from Richmond, to help him find the real killer. It would seem an ideal pairing—she has experience, along with plenty of sand, and Will is privy to the details of the case—but it doesn’t takelong for either to realize they much prefer to operate alone. 
   
  Bennico and Will clash as they each defend their untraditional ways on a wild ride that wends deep into the Snakefoot, an underworld wilderness that for hundreds of years has functioned as a hideout for outcasts—the forgotten and neglected and abused—leaving us enmeshed in the tangled history of a region and its people that leaves no one innocent, no one free, nothing sacred. 
   
  “Set deep in the rural expanse of southern Virginia, it’s both a thriller and a dark fairy tale, filled with danger and menace, loss and longed-for redemption."—Megan Abbott

  International wine consultant Sarah McKee just got back from a whirlwind European tour, where she tasted more rare wines than most of us can name. But her homecoming in Sonoma has a corkscrew twist: her elderly friend Landon Harris has met an untimely end. Heart attack? Sarah isn’t buying it. Landon had been calling her nonstop while she was in Europe, practically begging her to help him find… something. And now he’s suddenly gone to the big vineyard in the sky? 
  Sarah smells something suspicious—spoiler alert: it’s not the charcuterie plate. When she starts poking around, Landon’s son, the suave but shady Jean-Paul, tells her to back off, and Landon’s loyal assistant is shown the door. Things only get darker from there: an inquest confirms that Landon’s exit was a little more “who dunnit” than “natural causes.” 
  Who could’ve done Landon in—and why? Sarah, of course, won’t let this mystery breathe. Armed with her wine expertise, she teams up with a ridiculously handsome sheriff named Steven Bradley, her best friend Kelley, a trusty bartender named Zach Sullivan, and a cast of quirky Sonoma characters who are as unpredictable as the town’s wine pairings. Together, they start to unravel a juicy web of deceit, greed, and a long-buried secret hidden in an old ghost winery that’s got more skeletons than wine barrels. 
  Now, all Sarah has to do is find Landon’s missing heir before the killer strikes again. But will she and her friends solve the mystery before the killer puts a cork in it? Grab a glass and find out—it’s about to get twisted!
