The Wine Tasting in Lisbon (vol. XVI)
Wine contains the truth - and death!
The logician Andreas Fechter knows how people smuggle cocaine and how murders can be made to look like accidents. Doctoral student Johanna Breitenbach is supposed to be showing Portuguese vintners how their vineyards can save energy, but in the face of climate change, she considers this task pointless. On the other hand, Nicolas Hollman’s world is just fine. The head of the family has adapted his vineyard on Rio Douro to be both ecological and sustainable. His experienced crew keeps all this running.
Everything would be just fine - if it weren’t for the two murders and the stupid incident during the wine tasting in Lisbon. Neither Breitenbach nor Hollman are willing to just let things rest. However, their opponent remains shrouded in darkness...
- Story is set in Lisbon, Portugal
