I am not sure why some of the reviews were negative. The main character, Eric Shaw, is sent to the West Baden/French Lick, Indiana area to do a story on Campbell Bradford, a 95 year old millionaire. Eric has very little information to go on except a bottle of Pluto water. The Pluto water was in a light green glass bottle with etching across it that said "Pluto Water, America's Physic". It also had another etching, this one the image of a jaunty devil with horns, forked tail, and a sword. The bottle contains some strange liquid and, as the story progresses, the bottle keeps getting colder and colder to the touch.
Now I found the story interesting and I kept reading to find out what was going on.... If you read the book, you will want to get on the internet and look up the West Baden Springs Hotel -- the place is absolutely gorgeous. Pluto Water came from a mineral springs in the area and was bottled and sold as a cure for many things.
