Enter into the world of Police Inspector Canal, whose fascination with wonderful wines and fabulous food draw him to the Loire River Valley, entangling him in intrigues involving wine, math, music, art, and even sports.

Police Inspector Canal has a love for all things French - and particularly French women - which leads him to the Loire Valley.

Here, outlandish crimes occur at an ever more frenzied pace in the world-famous castles along the royal river, from Chambord and Chenonceau, Amboise and Azay, to Saumur and Oiron.

In order to crack them, Canal, with a psychological flare that has nothing Renaissance about it, has to solve architectural secrets as well as the many mysteries of wine tasting!

Novelist and psychoanalyst, Bruce Fink is the author of numerous detective novels that span two continents, jumping from New York to Paris and on to all the great vineyards of France.
