One of Palm Beach County’s biggest property-tax scofflaws is now a main character in a riveting new nonfiction book about the three-century disappearance of an original copy of the Bill of Rights.

Palm Beach developer and former philanthropist Bob Matthews, with his comely wife Mia permanent fixtures in high society until the economy tanked, figures prominently in journalist David Howard’s Lost Rights: The Misadventures of a Stolen American Relic. It’s scheduled to hit bookstores nationally July 2.

In it, Matthews appears as a name-dropping, greedy-to-the-max, conniving presence who tried to make millions from the sale of an historic document then turned on his best friend and business partner when the scheme failed.


My Note: Mia Matthews is the great, great something or other of Henry Flagler, developer of Palm Beach..Enjoy!
