A Deadly Inheritance

When former journalist Adam Bailey agrees to spend Christmas at Mulgrave Castle, he knows that his host has an ulterior motive. His old flame, Harriet, and her husband, Sir Anthony Rowe, want Adam to investigate an old family curse—a curse that’s said to have claimed several victims, and that may strike again…

Soon heavy snow cuts off the ancient castle from the outside world, and the guests become aware that the curse has indeed claimed a new victim—but how? Adam, aided by Harriet’s feisty sister, Eve, tries to find out whether the death is linked to the mysterious disappearances that have occurred over the centuries. Is there the usual foul play afoot, or is someone powerless to resist the force of a far older evil?
