Sarah's Curse — George Encizo

Sometimes, nature, fate, and heredity combine to create experiences beyond imagination. John Carter is an honest and decent man--and so is his alter ego of the same name on another plane of reality. Both are about to be drawn into a world of violence and mystery. The lives of the two John Carters are about to take strange, dangerous, and challenging turns on parallel trajectories.

Both of these honest, caring, and decent men find themselves thrust into life-changing situations beyond their control. Each man encounters a heinous, incomprehensible crime of passion that changes his life, forcing him to enlist outside help to deal with this new reality. What they both will discover disturbs them to the core as they learn, firsthand, the level of violence that man is more than eager to inflict upon another living being. Their challenge is to stay on target and somehow resist the siren call of the many twists, turns, and curveballs the case throws--and how they deal with what they learn becomes almost as important as the discovery itself.

The two Carters must each resist the temptation to take matters into their own hands. The frustration of working within the confines of what the law allows tests their moral control and ability to do the right thing in the face of the ultimate wrongdoing. Both will find comfort and sanity in the support and unexpected humor of those closest to them, and both will learn who their true friends really are.
