Rainbow Vintner

Morgan Kenworthy, a Berkeley student studying abroad, is a guest of the de Carduzacs, family friends who have a chateau in St. Émilion in France. Soon after she arrives, a bombing at an aviation plant kills several ministers. An investigation, led by General Tolbert, the head of French intelligence and friend of Joseph de Carduzac, points to jihadists. However, clues Morgan unearths about Joseph’s past suggest that he committed nefarious acts while serving President Mitterand. After another explosion, killing most of the cabinet, General Tolbert announces that he is in charge. He suspects that Morgan knows about the plots and Morgan’s life is in danger and she tries to leave Europe for the US but is thwarted. She must rely on her wits until she can convince the French Government who the real criminals are.
