Barrows' Deep Purple Cover has flavors of mystery and dark motives with fragrant twists. Medium-bodied and knowledgeable of the subject matter, the aroma of the novel is robust in its procedural qualities with just a hint of thriller. Interesting characters also make it perfect for the bookshelf where it will pair nicely with a Baldacci, a Sandford or a Coben. Deep Purple Cover is a truly notable vintage." -Craig Johnson, author of the Walt Longmire Series "Deep, dark and authentic. Great characters. Great read." -Colin Campbell, author of the Jim Grant thrillers "Something's rotten in California wine country, as noted by the discovery of a decapitated head floating in a barrel of fine wine. Whether you're a wine connoisseur or not, you'll dig Deep Purple Cover, Joel Barrow's latest twisty, gripping fact-based whodunnit mystery thriller. Watch the sparks fly as FBI agent Rowan Parks hooks up with her former love, AFT undercover agent David Ward, to solve the case." -Charles Salzberg, twice nominated Shamus Award author of Second Story Man and Swann's Last Song "Barrows proves to be a masterful storyteller with his tale of deadly dealings in the fertile vineyards of Napa Valley." -Stephen Burdick, author of Deemer's Inlet and The Gray Detective "With a full cast of captivating characters and a zig-zagging plot stuffed full of twists, Deep Purple Cover burns along to its end. Star of the Deep Cover series, undercover agent David Ward travels to a California vineyard to aid in investigating a heinous murder and the layers beneath it. Who knew wine was so bloody?" -Ryan Sayles, Derringer-nominated author of the Richard Dean Buckner hard-boiled PI series
