Club Cognac

The Friday morning coffee club members were baby boomers; typical of their generation. Relatively well off reasonably fit and relishing retirement.Two members Annie and Sue were searching for a property in France when they were introduced to Anton Michaud. A very pleasant Cognac distiller; with a very unpleasant banker who was threatening to foreclose.As their friendship grew Anton found two wonderful allies in the sisters; Annie for her business acumen and Sue for her libido.The vineyard had been in the Michaud family for generations producing a cognac of sublime quality. Why then was Anton so heavily in debt and set to lose the lot? Annie was persuaded to cast a professional eye over things and liked what she found; enough to recruit a gang of investors from the coffee morning club.Det. Sgt. Adam Harding retired wasnt a particularly willing or welcome member until they were confronted with blackmail extortion collaboration and murder. He was given a new lease for life even if the people he involved on both sides of the Atlantic didnt always feel the same way.
