The world-s most elite wine connoisseurs have descended on Sun Valley to taste and bid on the world-s best wines, including three bottles claimed to have been a gift from Thomas Jefferson to John Adams. With sky-high prices all but guaranteed for these historic items, it-s no wonder a group of thieves is out to steal them. Walt is responsible for all aspects of the glitzy event, from security of the dignitaries to the physical safety of the auction site to the transportation and safeguard of the wines themselves.Walt is enjoying a rare afternoon of freedom, fly-fishing with his nephew, Kevin, when a passing truck catches his eye- his suspicions throwing him headlong into the discovery of a complicated plan to steal the rare wine. When a bomb detonates just as the auction revs up, the investigation explodes as well, pulling Walt in a dozen different directions. It seems Walt is caught in the middle of a heist of epic proportions-and not the heist he had prepared for-all orchestrated by the ingenious mind of Christopher Cantell, a man who appears to have covered everything, including the way Walt-s own sheriff-s office will react. 6757152 book 20 5 2009 Killer Summer total:113|5:17|4:44|3:50|2:3|1:1| 113 409 193 39 4 0 false false Tue Jul 14 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 14 10:11:02 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 14 10:11:11 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 1 false false Wed Jul 22 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 20 09:26:16 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 22 13:30:34 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Aug 09 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 10 14:07:17 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 10 14:24:42 -0700 2009 1
Although the first part of the book does not have a lot of action ( it's more of a 'heist' story ), the second two-thirds sets up a terrific chase that can only come to a bad end. It does.
