Murder of the Wine Merchant

All Rights Reserved ©

Summary

A winery magnate is found dead outside a brothel. The bullet was clean. The motive? Drenched in lust, betrayal, and ambition. Commissioner Lucien, a sharp but solitary investigator in the luxurious coastal city of Punta del Este, is assigned to a case that defies appearances. The victim, owner of the prestigious Vino de las Sierras winery, had no shortage of enemies—cheated business partners, betrayed lovers, and a wife who knew more than she ever admitted. As Lucien delves into the underbelly of elite society, he uncovers a world of scandalous affairs, ruined fortunes, and long-held grudges. With each suspect, the line between victim and killer blurs. Tension builds in wine cellars and hotel rooms alike, and every answer only leads to more questions. When truth is fermented with lies, even justice can turn bitter. Will Lucien uncover the murderer before the trail goes cold—or will he be just another pawn in someone else's game? Murder of the Wine Merchant is the gripping first volume in the Lucien series by Blake Noir—crime fiction at its most elegant and dangerous.

Murder of the Wine Merchant

A brothel. A bottle of wine. A bullet to the chest.

In the shadowy corners of Punta del Este’s luxurious facade, Commissioner Lucien faces a case soaked in lust, betrayal, and lies. The body of the winery tycoon behind Vino de las Sierras is found dead outside a brothel—shot cleanly, with no witnesses and too many suspects.

His wife knew of his affairs. His partners wanted him ruined. His lovers wanted revenge.

As Lucien peels back layers of deception—from scandalous bedrooms to vineyard boardrooms—he discovers that in this city, secrets don’t just kill… they ferment.

Can he expose the killer before the truth drowns in a sea of corrupted passions?

A gripping noir mystery with atmosphere as intoxicating as the wine that stains its pages.
