N1  - "Two little boys start out as friends but their lives take two different paths. One becomes all he wants to be and is 'saved' by marrying a woman with the strength to keep him on the right side of the law and he has something to live for. The other is a boy who is given no choice about his life and the person he will become and the things he will do. When they meet again the contrast is stark. Blood, Wine and Chocolate is a blackly comic murder mystery involving very expensive wine and an overdose of chilli chocolate"--Publisher's information
