Barclay Flint is the eccentric proprietor of The Bottle Bank wine shop in Lewes, the small
Sussex town renowned for its annual Bonfire Night festival. Barclay can taste a
kaleidoscopic universe in a single glass of wine - and will delight in luring you to share in
its charms.
Barclay passes his days happily matching his customers to the wines of their dreams, but
when his friend, struggling regenerative vineyard owner Victor Crawshaw, goes missing,
Barclay falls under suspicion and must deploy his wine detection skills to crack the case
and clear his name. As the clock ticks down to Bonfire Night's epic festival of flames, the
fireworks might not be all that start exploding...
Death by Noir is the first of The Bottle Bank Mysteries, a series of charming
and warm-hearted crime novels by beloved UK wine expert, Olly Smith.
