Day one: check-in on the Iphigenia, a Boat & Bike home for thirty guests of diverse backgrounds on a one week excursion through Holland and Belgium. Personalities clash, conflicts arise. Day seven: a body is found in canal waters at the stern of the boat. On the final morning a second body is discovered. Who among the cyclists and crew is hateful and motivated enough to kill? Twice. How are the two murders related? Why two coins for the ferryman? Is the phoenix jug, both admired and derided, merely symbolic? How does the death mask of Agamemnon lead to resolution? Determining truth entails travelling from Amsterdam to Bruges to Paris to the ancient site of Mycenae in Greece where what's past is shown to be prologue.
