The Dain Curse

When eight industrial grade diamonds are reported stolen by the Dains, a prominent San Francisco family, a nameless insurance investigator known only as The Continental Op is assigned to the case. As the Op explores leads, a series of violent deaths seem to lead back to heiress Gabrielle Dain Leggett, a troubled young woman whose belief in a family curse results in morphine addiction and ties to a suspicious religious cult. Is Gabrielle mad? Is the curse real? Or are even more diabolical forces at play?The Continental Op fights his way through doublecross and danger to discover the truth behind the alleged Dain Curse before it claims another life--including his own.
