Stereoboard's Features writer David Evans has just released a brand new book entitled 'Sour Grapes'. Published as an e-book, avoiding those horrendous postage and packaging charges, 'Sour Grapes' is currently available on Kindle, Apple and from Waterstones (don’t worry if you don’t own an e-reader, you can download a Kindle onto your laptop, iPad or mobile for free!)
'Sour Grapes' is loosely inspired by the proven case of wine tampering at Chateau Giscours. Set in London, Texas and France, and with more twists than a stick of barley sugar, it is a story of blackmail, devotion and a double dose of revenge… it even has a few rock 'n' roll cameos!
To whet your appetite...
After two years of scamming the owners of a small French vineyard, Eric Goddard has every right to think he has chanced on a pension for life … but that was before that fateful night in November 1996 when his two best friends and accomplices were symbolically maimed by a complete stranger.
Out of desperation, he heads for London and the glitzy Mayfair dining club, home to his estranged mother and her wealthy lover, Charles de l’Eglise.
Because of Eric’s Oedipus-like jealousy and his rival’s wariness, there is no love lost between the two men, but once Charles realises that, in seeking out his mother, Eric has unwittingly made her a target, he is left with no alternative but to protect the young blackmailer if only to safeguard the love of his life.
For someone who has made his fortune on the back of insider knowledge and intuition, finding out about the vineyard recently changing hands was child’s play. Even discovering the background to the deal and the details of the new owner was hardly a test of Charles’ ingenuity.
However, the same couldn’t be said about persuading a Texan billionaire of Polish ancestry to mellow his view on revenge … and as regards the man’s psychopathic son: when it came to doing his father’s dirty work, his success rate had yet to fall below 100%, and he certainly wasn’t expecting a fancy-pants restaurateur to put a dent in his record.
This is David's second novel following on from his self-published novel entitled 'Bitter Taste', a suspense/thriller charting the rise and fall of a celebrity chef.
