Midnight emergencies broke up Attorney Matthew Hope's marriage in the first place, so it's nothing new when a radio announcement interrupts him while he's in bed with his ex-wife. He'd only hired Otto Samalson to conduct a simple marital investigation—so how does Samalson end up dead on a deserted highway? His search for an answer takes him into Florida's drug underworld on the trail of a hooker with the style and looks to transform herself in a high-class Cinderella and steal a pretty cache of coke. What Hope—and the police—uncover is a complicated web of circumstances, a terrifying twist on a hooker's fairy tale...and no happily ever after for Cinderella.
