A stray child, an unsolved crime, a precious legacy

In the beautiful winelands of South Africa, Fili, adopted daughter of Martin and Ray Du Bois, is determined to prove herself a worthy heir to their estate. The arrival of strangers on the boundary strains relations with the resident farm workers, who have worked the land for generations, and Fili strives to be a peace-maker. But the birth of a true heir and a tragic death in the family threatens her future at Du Bois Vineyards, and strikes at the dream of the Rainbow Nation…

Grand-mère, I reflected, was right about wine and life: they both hover on the edge. A vintage could be lost by a burst of rankness in the cellar as easily as by a flash of lightning in the vineyard. And a child might be gathered up with the best of intentions and then overlooked when the world turns…

The Case Against Fili Du Bois was released as an e-book and a paperback on 1st May 2024.
The e-book and paperback is available in the UK here, in the US here or on Amazon’s websites wherever you reside.
