Le French Book continues its promotion of a new line of translated French crime novels today with Treachery in Bordeaux, a classic whodunit set in French wine country, where pleasure, expertise and mystery meet. Here, the wine is served up with money, duplicity, crime, and jealously — all the ingredients needed to distill a fine detective series.
"It is set in vineyards and has an Epicurean hero, embodying that French something people love, while shedding a present-day light on time-honored images of the country," says Le French Book founder and translator Anne Trager. "That is why we are giving readers a second chance to enter sweepstakes to experience both the country and its wine."
From today through October 29th, 2012 you can enter to win a trip to France at TreacheryInBordeaux.com. Other prizes include "A Taste of France", eighteen bottles of French wine, and one of five different books by bestselling authors.
