The Claret Murders
An inheritance at risk and the discovery of an extraordinary cache of old wines during Nashville’s history-making flood leads to foul play and death in this Mark Rollins mystery adventure.

The old man finished a glass of wine—his favorite claret—went to bed, and died. Now more than fifty years later, a stunningly beautiful Nashville attorney, Ann Sims, is preparing to auction off his estate—a derelict old mansion with its long-forgotten secret. Sims has lived with a secret of her own, a secret that could cost her the fortune she is in line to inherit and end her career. Beautiful women can make poor choices in men. She is no exception. Afraid, for good reason, of the possessive and greedy men in her life, she turns to Mark Rollins for protection.

Rollins, the central character in Collins’ mysteries, is a modern-day hero—a protector, problem solver, and crime fighter. His “superhero-like” powers are technology, extraordinary wealth, and friends in high places. This time his technology is failing him as he tries to keep Ann Sims alive—his efforts thwarted by Nashville’s failing infrastructure in the wake of the massive storm and flood that provides cover for bad things.

About the Author

The London based publication Citytech called him an "outstanding individual and visionary" when M. Thomas (Tom) Collins was named as one of the Top 100 Global Tech Leaders in the legal community. Tom Collins, as he prefers to be called, is also the recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award from the U.S. Publication, Law Technology News, for his contribution to the use of technology in the legal community.

Collins is one of the pioneer entrepreneurs of the information technology industry following IBM's consent decree that opened opportunities to own mainframe computers for the purpose of providing services to others. He is the founder and former president of Juris, Inc., a leading provider of financial and business information systems for multi-attorney law firms, which was acquired by LexisNexis in 2007. Until his retirement at the end of 2007, he shared his 30 years of experience working with midsized law firms through his award winning law practice management blog.

As a retiree and a cancer survivor, Collins has now turned his hand to writing adventure mysteries.

In addition to their entertainment quality his books address real life business management issues especially as related to the profitable operation of the modern law firm.
