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.
