The story
His last words, heard over the phone were, “You shouldn’t be here, it’s too late…”
The high-profile divorce lawyer was later found bludgeoned to death with an unusually expensive bottle of wine, yet he’s not a drinker, so what’s the significance? And what could the numbers painted on the wall near the body mean?
In this second book of the series, ex-police detective Daniel Hawthorne is called in to investigate. It’s fortunate for the police dept. that they’ve got Hawthorne to call upon since they’re, once again, baffled by the crime.
Hawthorne convinces author Anthony Horowitz, to join him and document the investigation — document only, do not get involved. That’s Tony’s cue to get involved. ⭐️
As the death toll climbs and more suspects make an appearance, adding to the confusion, Tony convinces himself that he’s getting better at unraveling the mystery; he was wrong last time…
