Blood Worth Bottling

A ruthless tech mogul invited his enemies to a lavish weekend at a winery. Bad idea.

Mitchell Townsend is a vampire and a private detective, off the clock for once. The plan: a low-body-count getaway—moonlit vineyard strolls, private tastings, and quality time with his boyfriend, AJ. Then a tour of the grounds turns up a body. Their host's.

Murder, obviously.

Eddie Bernardi had built a fortune in data centers and was angling to become a media emperor. He'd also given nearly everyone present a reason to want him dead. The anchor whose career he held in his fist. The movie star he wouldn't stop pursuing. The proprietor whose winery depended on his backing. The winemaker he publicly humiliated. All of them on the estate when he died.

Even AJ makes the list.

Nobody can afford the headlines, so they turn to Mitchell. With AJ among the suspects, he has one night to pull the truth out of people who know how to lie beautifully—before the police and paparazzi descend.

A hundred-plus years undead, and Mitchell still can't get one decent vacation.

Perfect for fans of Only Murders in the Building and What We Do in the Shadows, Blood Worth Bottling is the second novel in the Technically Dead Detective series—a sharp, funny closed-circle paranormal mystery where the pours are generous, the alibis aren't, and nobody checks out before dawn.
