Wine merchant Tony Beach has expertly catered his latest society soiree, but the fun’s over when a team of hit men crash the party…literally. The event leaves Tony with a bitter aftertaste of suspicion--and sets off a mystery that’s an intoxicating blend of deception, intrigue, and murder.
Book #55 was Proof, by Dick Francis.
Another paperback I inherited from my dad. I’d never read Dick Francis before — this was pretty good. I’d read more. It’s part of the “Horseracing Mystery Series”, but it really didn’t have much to do with horseracing.
