Charlie didn?t want to take this case?he hated cases involving crazy wills?but when one of the new clients mentioned that the Bainbridge men are cursed he knew resistance was hopeless: Constance could not resist confronting a curse.
In a quiet college town in New Jersey five million dollars in cashier?s checks lies hidden in a dead man?s house and whoever finds the checks gets to keep it all. Four family members have four weeks before the house and its contents become the property of a small college. Soon two deaths by drowning from the past and another clear case of murder in the present complicate matters. It takes the combined skills of a superbly trained homicide detective Charlie and an equally well trained psychologist Constance to unravel the mystery of the Bainbridge curse?and expose a killer.
