Title: Get Mandi Wine
Description: Mandi Wine is back with her intrepid partner, Johnny Cohen.           The Sebastian Wine Detective Agency has undergone a bit of a facelift, which one might expect to be the case when a woman’s touch is brought to bear.  Now, after some hectic months of reorganization, Mandi decides to do a bit of skydiving near Pullman, Washington, while Johnny drives down to the California border towns of Yreka and Hornbrook to begin an investigation into the case of Ginny Regaluto, a young woman who has apparently vanished from the face of the Earth.
          When Mandi’s chute fails to open because someone wants her dead, she is saved in midair by a handsome young man by the name of Henson Benjamin.  It was a thrill ride that Mandi didn’t bargain for. Especially when it becomes quite clear that Ching and Latoya still want her dead—and came close to succeeding.
           Mandi’s buddies, Cliff Wheeler, Barry Jones and S. T. Harrison again work with her to track down the leaders of the drug cartel the Wine Agency and a combined task force thought they had stopped some months earlier.  With death nipping at their heels, Wine and Cohen struggle to stay one-step ahead of their dedicated tormentors…
           With Get Mandi Wine, we once again have a Vin Smith novel jam packed with fascinating characters.
