VINEYARDS OF DEATH
An Mature Audience Mystery/Action/Comedy
The role of "George DuBoise,"
a former New York City Police Detective Lieutenant, is created by
Broadcaster/Actor George Boyce. DuBoise retires to Watkins
Glen, NY, the home of sports car road racing in the USA,
located in the heart of the Finger Lakes Wine Country. DuBoise
plans to relax and do all of those guy things he’s always wanted to
do -- sports car racing, fishing, gardening and model trains.
When the leading citizen is found
murdered in his own vineyards, the world-famous Glenora Wine
Cellars, the local Sheriff asks George to help them out with the
investigation. Everything points to the victim's much younger wife,
the stunningly beautiful French actress Sarah Desage as "Sarah,"
who asks DuBoise to help her prove her innocence. So he embarks on a
trail that hopefully will lead him to the killer or killers. but the
killing of winery owners continues, and soon DuBoise becomes a
target himself.
He is helped by a legion of local
characters. The role of "Speed," George’s sidekick, is played
by Andy Parker. The fast-talking, former Bronx cabbie has
followed DuBoise upstate and has started his own local taxi service.
“Wildflower,” played by the great New York City comedy
actress Lela Frechette, is a local bar and grill keeper and
is a throwback to the days of the hippies. She knows all, tells
little and rules her domain with a big heart, a sharp tongue and a
swift kick to those that need it.
 “Cherokee,” a former
girlfriend of DuBoise’s, is a modern folk singer and song writer who
performs at the “Wildflower Café.” She provides great original
music, but will the former flames of passion rekindle? Not if the
tall, beautiful blonde college basketball star has her way. Stage
and TV actress Jessica Farmer plays the athletic,
wise-cracking, karate kicking co-ed "Kristin." The striking
redheaded stage actress, Tina Field Howe, brings to life “Sam,”
the computer whiz and auto mechanic.
Exotic cars, fast boats, auto
racing, several cameo appearances by the famous and not-so-famous,
and the scenic beauty of the Finger Lakes Region makes this a
thrilling, fun-filled mystery romp for all.

Field Howe.
