TO SAVE HERSELF, GENEALOGIST TORIE O'SHEA MUST UNRAVEL AN EIGHTY-YEAR-OLD MYSTERY -- AND UNMASK A KILLER...

Most would think Torie O'Shea is a very luck person to be the sole inheritor of a sprawling estate belonging to her great-grandmother's old friend, Clarissa Hart. So why, then, is Torie far from happy? For starters, she has never met the woman, and can't understand why she'd want to leave her property to a stranger. Secondly, the shabby, run-down boardinghouse is far from glamorous. with panthers roaming the acreage, and a long-held superstition that it's cursed bringing bad luck to whoever owns it...

Summoned by ailing, one-hundred-and-one-year-old Clarissa to West Virginia for the reading of her will, a very pregnant Torie and her cantankerous grandma. Gert, are given a frosty welcome by Clarissa'slfamily. staff, and boarders alike. But before Clarissa can explain. and as if to prove the existence of the curse, she is murdered, and Torie becomes Sheriff Thomas T. Justice's prime suspect. Is it the curse, or justice gone awry? But where there's a will there's a way out, and feisty Torie goes on the offensive. Using her considerable snooping skills, she brings to light a lynching on the family tree and a deadly secret rooted in revenge -- and becomes the all-too-conspicuous target of a killer out of control...
