After a career in the wine world â several careers, really â Paul Wagner has taken up murder.
Wagner, who has lectured on wine at Napa Valley College and the Culinary Institute of America and published award-winning books on wine and marketing, is the founder of Balzac Communications, which represents international clients for food, wine, and tourism.Â

After retiring from Balzac, Wagner turned his talents to mystery, and his debut novel is Danger: Falling Rocks. Â
Surprisingly â perhaps refreshingly â his first story is not set in a wine region. Instead, Wagner transports his readers to another setting that is one of his life-long loves: California s Sierra Nevadas.
