When wine critic Ambrose Hauser invites Liz Bartholomew to a prestigious tasting event, she is thrilled. Joined by her locksmith husband, Cy, she spends the event’s first day sipping and grading wine. That evening, the Bartholomews join the critics on a boat excursion and a twilight swim.

Ten people descend into Lake Monona. When it’s time to return to the boat, one swimmer, a wine critic named Carpenter Dalbesio, is missing. The next morning, divers find the woman at the bottom of the lake, her throat cut.
