But Rebecca disappears into thin air after running an errand for her boss, billionaire philanthropist and investment guru Sir Thomas Asher. Also missing: an antique silver wine cooler looted by British soldiers before they burned the White House during the War of 1812. The next morning Lucie identifies Rebecca's neatly folded clothes found in a rowboat floating in the Potomac River. Is it suicide, murder, or an elaborate scheme to disappear? A clandestine meeting in the U.S. Capitol, a startling revelation on a windy hill, and cryptic messages from Rebecca cloaked in eighteenth-century poetry are all part of the suspenseful tale of whether Rebecca is alive or dead- and the truth about Asher Investments."--Amazon.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Ellen Crosby's "beguiling" (<i>Kirkus Reviews</i>) fifth mystery takes readers into Washington's corridors of power, where Lucie Montgomery uncovers a political and financial scandal while trying to locate her missing friend. <p/></b>WHEN LUCIE MONTGOMERY VISITS Washington, D.C., during cherry blossom season she doesn't expect her reunion with old friend Rebecca Natale is a setup.

The historical information is like frosting on a cake, making this a thoroughly delicious read."--"Romantic Times" on "Viognier Vendetta"<br><br>"A sophisticated story with a flawed but highly determined protagonist who intrigues. The descriptions of Virginia wine country and the many facets of winemaking will hook readers. Likewise, the history element nicely complements the mystery, and the romance is equally well done."--"Romantic Times"<br><br>"Crosby's deft hand at plotmaking, memorable characters and seamless prose are again in evidence . . . a book to savor--and suitable for gulping."--"Richmond Times-Dispatch" on "The Viognier Vendetta"<br><br>"Crosby's pleasing fourth will delight current fans and surely add new ones."--"Kirkus"<br><br>"Ellen Crosby is a writer with flair, and her compelling plot, likeable heroine, wealth of wine lore and sure sense of Virginia's horse country combine in a crisp read that goes down smoothly with a pleasant finish."--Richmond Times-Dispatch<br><br>"Ellen Crosby's fourth Virginia wine country mystery, "The Riesling Retribution", really hits the spot. A body unearthed by a tornado, a suspicious vineyard manager, love triangles, theft and wine. It's a perfect combination." - The Post and Courier (Charleston)<br><br>"The mystery element in this entertaining, fast-paced series is enhanced by both the fascinating winemaking details and the Civil War background."--"Booklist"<br><br>"The only difficulty that readers will have with "The Viognier Vendetta" is taking time from the brisk plot to open a bottle of wine. The book works well as an amateur-sleuth novel but also explores the value of friendship, independence and wine lore. . . ."The Viognier Vendetta" proves to be a fine vintage."--Oline Cogdill, "The Miami Herald"<br>
