Anger is simmering under the bucolic facade of Tanglewood vineyard... All Ben Taylor wants is to get away from the police force where he worked undercover for years. The RCMP has cleared his name in an Ottawa shooting, but that hasn’t cleared his conscience. He arrives anonymously at Tanglewood Farms in Southwestern Ontario, where he worked in his youthful summers. Back then, it was a simple family-run vineyard, but it is a far different place today. The farm has become the hub of a powerful family empire. When a body is discovered in a shack on the farm, Ben is drawn into the investigation. Meanwhile, the woman who was once the love of his life now lives as a recluse behind the darkened windows of the farmhouse. As she begins to reveal to Ben her own dark secrets, they become suspects in the eyes of the police, the migrant workers, and even each other.
The dramatic and relatively short stay of Elian Gonzalez in the United States caught the attention of the entire nation. What started out as an incredible rescue from the Gulfstream turned into an international child custody case with profound results! Other than considering it a contemporary divine miracle as categorized by the news media, the survival of Elian itself does raise some doubts, as do some of the subsequent events that followed. The author's narrative of the actions and decisions taken by Attorney General Reno and the Clinton Administration, unfold an unspoken scenario. Throughout the pages of this book are found many thought provoking questions the reader must answer. Did the Department of Justice conduct this affair in it entirety under the rule of law? Did the Gonzalez family in Miami break the law when they ignored the INS order to return the child to them? Could this be a sham cunningly perpetrated by Fidel Castro? Could the outcome of the 2000 Presidential election have been one of the consequences of the way the Elian case was handled? Read this book and reach your own conclusions.
