Nitwit

by Harold R. Miller

Claude Clambo joins five other guests for dinner in the mansion of an eccentric vintner host. The dinner is late, the host can't be found, the guests are guzzling wine, and begin to disappear, one by one. It's gotta be the butler, except there isn't one. The guests are natives of Germany, Belgium, Italy, England, Los Angeles and Napa, or are they? Is it coincidental that each of them had a relative who died in their own wine cellars? Who could be the murderer? Is it one of them? Suspicions abound as you reach the twisted resolution of this verbal slapstick, comedy mystery. Sound familiar? Don't bet on it! You'll die laughing.

About the author

Hal Miller - author of the action-packed Penn Gwinn Series - is an author of many talents. Many of his action/adventure novels, which are spiced with international intrigue, spies, and secret governmental agendas, rely on his experiences both as a private investigator as well as with the NSA.

An experienced journalist and editor, he also incorporates his knowledge of sailing, sail boat construction, exotic locales, and governmental funny business to create page-turners that are oddly prophetic.

He lives in Marin County but has traveled extensively both internationally and in the U.S. for work and for inspiration, particularly in Latin America. He has written several plays and screenplays based on his books.
