Pirates of the Cabernet
(2026)(The tenth book in the Mermaid Bay Wine Mystery series)
A novel by Lynn Joseph
There's no rest for the wicked. Pirates, plunder, and a priceless Cabernet… Mermaid Bay is officially off the quiet list.
Noelle Knight’s discovery of Black Caesar’s treasure has turned her sleepy Florida Keys town into a pirate-obsessed circus.
Reporters are camped on the boardwalk. Historians want the artifacts. Treasure hunters are arriving by the boatload. And everyone is convinced there must be more pirate loot hidden nearby.
They’re right.
Three more caches may still be waiting to be found.
But buried treasure isn’t Noelle’s only problem. A fortune in rare Cabernet bound for her wine shop vanishes before she can authenticate it—and the stolen bottles start surfacing on the black market.
Then the yacht’s captain turns up dead.
Now Noelle is following a trail of smugglers, stolen wine, old pirate routes, and fresh murder. Cabby, her black cat, is doing his best to supervise, though he strongly objects to treasure hunters interrupting his naps.
With Mermaid Bay drowning in secrets, Noelle has to solve the case before another priceless bottle disappears—or another body washes ashore.
Pirates of the Cabernet is Book 10 in the Mermaid Bay Wine Mystery series: cozy mystery, Florida Keys charm, pirate treasure, wine, murder, and one very busy cat.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
