Puss in boots

Someone killed Prudence Ann Markham in a parking lot in Calusa, Florida. To the police, that someone was Prudence's self-absorbed filmmaker husband. Matthew Hope disagreed. Working with his investigators to prove Carlton Markham's innocence, Hope soon realized that the film Prudence was making in secret was the key to her murder -- and that film was missing. Suddenly everyone in South Florida wanted Prudence's reel of celluloid, from a wealthy Miami theater owner to a couple of porn-film hustlers. It seems careful, serious Prudence Ann Markham had been making a movie that was as profitable as it was dirty. And, as Matthew Hope would soon find out, Prudence was only the first to die for her sins.
