What are you doing here? It's kind of late...

These were the last recorded words of the famous divorce lawyer Richard Price, who was beaten to death in his home with a bottle of wine, a 1982 Chateau Lafite, worth two thousand pounds to be precise. Strange, considering he didn't drink. But why that bottle? Why those words? What was the significance of the three-digit number the killer wrote on the wall? And most importantly:
Which of all his enemies killed him?

The police are at a dead end, so they call in private investigator Daniel Hawthorne and his assistant, the writer Anthony, who has started to become quite good at solving murders. As soon as Hawthorne takes on the case, it becomes apparent that he too has secrets to hide. And as our cautious narrator gets more and more involved in the investigation, he realizes that some secrets need to be revealed...

Even if the penalty for them is death.
