CCCHS Author in the Archives Series presents

‍Dan Hanel, author of the historical mystery series In The Shadow of Diablo. Join us for this evening event in downtown Martinez as Dan shares an illustrated talk about his newest release Beneath the Tangled Vines.

...The Great Quake of 1906 left San Francisco in ruins. The destruction not only paralyzed the city, it also devastated California’s burgeoning wine industry as more than two dozen of downtown San Francisco’s wine warehouses burned to the ground. Vowing to rebuild, the California Wine Association settled on Contra Costa County’s western shore as the new home for Winehaven ― the largest winery in the world.

As two teachers investigate one family’s mystery and its possible connection to a hidden fortune, it soon becomes clear that there are dark secrets hidden beneath the tangled vines of the past...
