Product Description
When his knee shatters on the playing field, Charlie Marston is plunged into turmoil. His perspective suddenly shifts from sports superstar to regular (albeit wealthy) winemaker. He enters the world of work by way of the family winemaking business. The closeness of day to day operations with his parents illuminates qualities in them that he had consciously denied until now. Soon his youthful passion seeks a new outlet to replace the football career he's lost and he finds a new friend named Randy Black. Randy is part stunt-pilot, part Casanova, and part drunken Pied Piper. Randy leads him into terrifying predicaments that become more exciting and more dangerous with each passing day. Charlie doesn't resist until an ill-conceived stunt, compounded by drunken judgment, explodes in consequences that chase Charlie and Randy back home to Massachusetts. Charlie must eventually decide where his moral boundaries should be drawn as he contends with the after-effects of a half dozen mistakes that threaten to engulf him and his family.

In a word, Unpredictable!, 2008-06-22
A truly unpredictable and intriguing thriller that makes excellent use of location and background. What begins as a simple case of debauchery gone wrong, turns into something much worse, opening a sinister web of intrigue and violence.
With a truly unpredictable story line, approach this like you would a fine Bordeaux Vintage, that is with no preconceptions. Simply sit back and absorb the story like you would the flavour of the wine.

The Mark of a Truly Good Book -, 2008-05-27
This author is adept at weaving a perfect blend of intrigue and suspense. C.J. West's imaginative mind will take you through interesting and complex characters, detailed plot scenarios, twists and turns. He deftly develops his characters and enables the reader to attain the crucial insight into their actions and thought processes that makes a book excellent.
Sin & Vengeance is fresh, fast-paced action and addictive! What sets this book apart from other mysteries and novels is the level of detail that C.J. West infuses into his plot. Sin & Vengeance was well worth the price and effort to purchase and bound to become a best seller. I predict with his ability to weave a tale with such finesse and his command of the English language, C.J. West will become a household name.

an exciting twisted thriller!, 2008-05-15
This book was one of the most exciting I've read in a long time! The characters are complex-especially Randy-and the plot is intricate. I never was able to get one step ahead of Randy and his manipulations. His blinding need for revenge is astounding. The twists and turns in the book keep you on a roller coaster that ends with Charlie coming into his own and finally outwitting Randy. I could not put it down!! I hope the movie makes it to the big screen!

...couldn't put it down period., 2007-10-23
In a world where a multitude of writers and artists are lost amongst the mediocrity of public consumption, it is thrilling to discover an outstanding young storyteller like C.J. West. A genius with pacing, West introduces character after character that are delicatly wrapped in a battle of wills with their own moral compass and then slowly become emeshed in a trail of evil and greed it's impossible not to follow. Of course it's only a game until someone gets hurt and when Charlie gets drawn into the deliciously evil machinations of his new friend Randy Black, the people around him are soon at risk. Randy is clever, beguiling, vindictive and seemingly erratic, but he's a mesmorizing character like Patricia Highsmith's Ripley. Hopefully like Ripley, West turns Randy Black into a series as well.
