A murder to investigate and Jim Ashworth's team is fully stretched. There are questions to be answered. Who is the mysterious man in the silver metallic car? And what part does a tiny plastic skeleton play in the murder? But there are no answers - until there is another murder, and Ashworth, Holly and Josh follow their threads to a final, devastating resolution.
Nearly four hundred years ago Isobel Perkins was burned as a witch. As the flames licked her body she hurled a curse at the aldermen and their issue for all time. Joyce Regent, a London author hounded by the press, comes to live in the witch's cottage. Has the witch returned to Bridgetown - and with her the curse? Descendents of the aldermen are frightened - but frightened enough to murder her? Pugnacious new Superintendent, John Newton thinks so, but DCI Jim Ashworth is following a quite different line of enquiry.
