Jack McKinney, looking barely old enough to shave, stood in the swelter of Matthew Hope's Calusa County law office, spilling out a wide-eyed tale about wanting to buy a snap-bean farm. And he had the down payment to prove it. Four thousand in cash.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\nNow Jack's dead, stabbed fourteen times, and thirty-six thousand's missing. In cash. Matthew's questions are turning up some long-buried pasts, a second dead body, and some beautiful suspects. Like Sunny, Jack's sister, a surfer boy's fantasy, a delicious girl with some unsavory secrets. Or Veronica, a grown man's dream, a tough and lovely cattle rancher who's strangely unmoved by her son's death. Florida's getting hotter by deadly degrees, as Matthew bets it all against a scared killer with nothing left to lose...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\n\r\nThis is #4 in A Matthew Hope Novel.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Connies Bookshelf","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42956129468632,"sku":"B002CC5POA","price":5.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0648\/9099\/4904\/products\/JackAndTheBeanstalk.jpg?v=1655030769","url":"https:\/\/conniesbookshelf.com\/products\/jack-and-the-beanstalk","provider":"Connies Bookshelf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
