Blood Vines

A California vineyard holds bloody secrets for a woman plagued by nightmares—and the detective determined to help her—in this chilling romantic thriller.

When Alexandra Clarkson starts having visions of terrifying ceremonies, she thinks her mind is playing tricks on her, resurrecting images from her academic research on religious rituals. But when her mother Patsy commits suicide, Alex wonders if she’s haunted by something from the childhood she doesn’t remember.

Detective Daniel Reed has some shocking revelations about Alex’s mother. Twenty-five years earlier, Patsy was married to Harlan Sommer, a Sonoma County vintner, when their infant son disappeared without a trace. The loss destroyed the Sommers’ marriage, causing Patsy to leave and take Alex with her.

When a baby’s remains were unearthed in a Sonoma vineyard, Reed picked up a trail that led him to Patsy in San Francisco. Now, as Reed and Alex return to Sonoma to investigate, they find themselves in the crosshairs of a twisted killer . . .
