GUILTY AS ZIN—AN INFORMATIVE MYSTERY NOVEL

The informative mystery allows readers to learn something new while being entertained. Such novels might be set in ancient Rome or in an antiquarian bookstore or in a ranger’s cabin in remote national park.

Austin author Chuck Toubin’s first mystery, GUILTY AS ZIN, is such a novel as it is set in the California wine country. The fast-paced story uses a backdrop of contemporary Napa Valley where some of the world’s finest grapes are grown. Vineyard techniques, wine lore and history, and specific Napa locations enrich the compelling story. The novel opens a window on the winemaking business.

Former journalist and editor Toubin is an experienced writer and teacher of wine courses. He has been a member of the Society of Wine Educators. Toubin is a native Houstonian and a long-time member of the Writers League of Texas and Sisters In Crime.

Publishing Visions has contracted to publish GUILTY AS ZIN. The publication date is set for the first quarter of 2002.
