| Book description |

"Max Skinner is a man at the heart of London's financial universe. He works for the notorious Lawton Brothers at the top end of Threadneedle Street, and his is a life of long hours and fierce competition with Amis, his nemesis and boss. It is a rivalry that continues until the day Max finds the Lawton Brothers doing a little asset-stripping of their own. Himself." "Amid the London drizzle, there is one potential ray of sunshine in Max's life. His Uncle Henry has left him his estate in his will - an eighteenth-century house and vineyard an hour's drive from Avignon, where Max used to go for his childhood holidays. Out of a job, and encouraged by his friend Charlie's talk of the money in modern wine, he heads for France to assess its potential." What Max discovers is even better than he remembered: a beautiful house, wonderful weather and a bustling village in the shape of St. Pons. The only downside to his new life is the quality of the wine in the vineyard and the brooding presence of Roussel, a former employee of his uncle. When Max suggests getting in an expert to look at the vineyards, Roussel, for reasons that slowly unravel, is resistant. And then there's the arrival of a mysterious stranger from California. 多金自信又英俊的倫敦投資專家麥斯史金，意外接獲了過(guò)世的亨利叔叔遺贈(zèng)在普羅旺斯，名為席荷La Siroque的葡萄酒園。亨利叔叔是麥斯最親的家人，但就在處理繼承的法律程序時(shí)，因?yàn)橐还P可疑的投資交易調(diào)查，麥斯被公司停職。在莊園酒農(nóng)杜夫的熱情招呼下，麥斯半不情愿地留在酒莊，直到好友查理告知，這樣小而美的酒莊現(xiàn)在正是搶手貨，可以帶來(lái)幾百萬(wàn)美金的收益，不管是精品店或高級(jí)餐廳酒吧，最喜歡的就是來(lái)自這里的酒。生活正青黃不接的麥斯，打算好好利用這個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)翻身。 在這個(gè)時(shí)候，一名來(lái)自加州年約二十歲的女孩克莉勞勃，宣稱自己是亨利叔叔的私生女，依照法國(guó)法律，她才是席荷莊園的法定繼承人，只是麥斯不相信眼前的這位堂妹，麥斯詳細(xì)地問(wèn)著克莉酒莊的事，意外發(fā)現(xiàn)酒窖里一款名為“失落的角落”的名酒。當(dāng)?shù)乜Х鹊昱习逭f(shuō)，這款酒價(jià)值連城，是當(dāng)?shù)睾谑斜閷げ猾@的寶物…… About Author Peter Mayle spent fifteen years in the advertising business, first as a copywriter and then as a reluctant executive, before escaping Madison Avenue in 1975 to write educational books for children.
