DEATH IS A CABERNET
The latest adventure from Pinky, Bear,
and the enigmatic Flo.

Pinky, Bear, Flo, and a new sidekick, learn to deal with a photo of purple corpse - death threats - a dubious Public Defender - a ferret-faced innkeeper - a pair of knockout twins - a dominatrix - a blind grandpa, and many other memorable characters as they work their way through ground fog, floods, Phylloxera, gun shots, central valley plonk, and nearly lose their lives in the process. Enter the exotic, and little known world of wine, from the vineyard to the market place. Once again, in his endless pursuit of money, the self aggrandizing Pinky lives it up in Healdsburg, located in the heart of the wine country, while Bear and Flo sleep in a cinderblock motel buried under the cold, impenetrable, winter ground fog that shrouds Modesto, California.

And who would play the parts of Bear, Flo, and and do not forget Willow?

Reviews of Death is a Cabernet

I was so excited to get my hands on the latest Pinky and the Bear adventure and Death is a Cabernet delivered with an uproarious romp through the wine country. Pinky is drawn into a murder investigation involving an amethyst corpse, traveling to Sonoma County to help out an old law school mate. Bear and Flo join the investigation (after a brief visit to foggy Modesto) and meet a spunky young girl and her Grandpa while staying at their resort on the Russian River. Conniving twins, controlling wine makers, skulking inn keepers, hired goons and hungry security guards all weave through the story as Pinky and Bear work together, and sometimes against each other to track down the murderer. But this book is so much more than just another murder mystery. The characters pop off the pages. You might not particularly like them, but they are memorable and intriguing. While the author tells a good story, the interplay of the characters is the heart of the book. Raise your glass to Pinky and Bear, fantastic characters whose escapades are a joy to read!
Wendy D. Maxham

This is my second Pinky and Bear novel and I have to admit that I love the unlikely duo. Bear is a hulky bear of a man with a low mentality but a pretty high moral compass. He does not always go by it, but he sure tries his best. Pinky, on the other hand, is an intellectual fart. Do not get me wrong, he is lovable, but not exactly the friendliest person in the world. The nonstop chaos that most of us face in life is represented in the book, but in such a manner that it is easy to laugh about it. When it rains, it pours, but at least Dalton makes it entertaining! Most mystery readers will want to pick this up. Be warned though! Most of the humor found in the book is sarcastic and not your every day slapstick.
