Beskrivelse
Noir master Jim Thompson meets mistress of suspense Patricia Highsmith in a scintillating debut set in the world of art, wine, and provincial retail Keir Rothwell is an angry young man.
Spurned by his lover and mentor and ejected from his art school, he is lost - but determined this will not be the end of his artistic endeavors.
A new job in a local wine shop gives Keir a creative outlet - a chance to turn shop floor drudgery into an original work of art. But his wine critiques mock the shop's clientele and tension builds on both sides of the counter.
When his new project is threatened, conflict becomes murder and long buried secrets threaten to destroy the artist. But Keir Rothwell will not be undone.
Tautly written and threaded with dark humor, Murder by the Bottle is a compelling study in character, criminality and truth.
