Cade Blackstone, forty-something, newly wealthy and single, moves to Oregon wine country and hangs out his PI shingle, mostly in order to write off his  car and expensive desk. He figures he'll spend his days with Jiggs, his wrinkle dog, kayaking on nearby Hagg Lake, when he's not speeding around the countryside in his Lamborghini, and his evenings with his bombshell girlfriend Lauren. But people keep coming to him with cases they insist that he solve. Now Cade is having to learn fast. Thankfully, Jiggs has a good nose.

The bloated body of a local winemaker is discovered a few miles outside of town. PI Cade Blackstone seems to be drawn to the murder investigation, although the police aren't too pleased with his involvement. Nor is his client, who has hired him to find her missing granddaughter. As he digs into the dead man's past, Cade grows increasingly horrified at what he learns. And the more he learns, the more important it becomes to find the runaway, if that's what she really is...

A group of privileged car fanatics takes an overnight trip to the Oregon coast. One of them doesn't come back. The missing man was a high profile Portland attorney with well publicized shady tactics. Did his new wife get tired of him already? Did he have a girlfriend with a jealous streak? Or which of his many dissatisfied clients might have offed him? It falls to Carlton's wise-cracking PI, Cade Blackstone, to find out, but the stakes are higher than anyone imagined.

​
Carlton PI Cade Blackstone heads off to France to locate a local winemaker who went missing a few months back. It should be simple enough, so he invites his girlfriend Lauren along. They may as well make it a bit of a vacation, after all. But things don't go quite as planned. Lauren is called home early, and Cade discovers that, even though he finds his guy, holding onto him may be tough, for he's harboring dangerous secrets, and traveling in Europe isn't as safe as it once was. So, being new to the PI business, Cade surrounds himself with well-connected Brits and Frenchmen to aid him as he tries to pave a path home for himself and the winemaker. But, while he works to polish his plan, both are distracted by past indiscretions, and one of them may turn out to be fatal.
