About the Book:
Matthew Hope is a lawyer in Calusa, Florida, where he is hired by Jill Lawton to find her husband, Jack, who had disappeared. What starts out to be a story about tracking down the wayward husband, it soon turns into a tangled story of sex and murder, centering on the theft of a plain terra cotta cup on exhibit at the Casa De Pedro Museum. It’s an ancient cup, supposedly the one from which Socrates drank hemlock. It’s an extremely valuable artifact and a Greek tycoon is willing to pay millions to possess it
