Burnt Vines (vol. XVIII)
A dish best served cold ...
The break-in at his wife Verena’s gallery was apparently only the beginning. Not long afterwards, Philipp Aschenbach’s family suffers another blow when the irrigation system at their vineyard is sabotaged. While his son Thomas and his business partner Manuel try to futureproof the winery against climate change, the attacks continue. Are they specifically targeting the wine-growers? Or is there something else behind it all, something much larger?
