In “A Loaded Gun,” Keefe looks into the case of Amy Bishop, a neurobiology professor at the University of Alabama at Huntsville, who in 2010 came to a faculty meeting and shot six of her colleagues, three of them fatally. The story expands to retell the legal battles that followed and to offer a fascinating glimpse inside the world of wine counterfeiting. Some of the stories would make entertaining caper movies, like the first, “The Jefferson Bottles.” It recounts how a wealthy wine dealer with a sketchy past, Hardy Rodenstock, scammed a much wealthier wine collector - Bill Koch, one of the billionaire Koch brothers - out of large amounts of money with some dusty old bottles of French wine that allegedly had belonged to Thomas Jefferson.
