The investigation of the death of a woman who died in a fire leads Beau and his partner, Sue, on a rapid chase that leads to a myriad of threats, curses, and death. The recent discovery of some old bones are believed to have come from a Native American burial place. A professor at a local university comes to Beau with a cautionary tale of curses associated with their discovery. Sue is dealing with problems her ex-husband is causing. Meanwhile, Beau’s nemesis is causing him problems at work. Eventually, things circle back to the first crime he is investigating. Much happens in this thrilling edition to the series. It’s action-packed, tightly written, and quite exciting, but be forewarned: it is also quite sad, and sends Beau on a new trajectory. The audio version is very well narrated by Gene Engene. He has become the voice of J P Beaumont, and does an excellent job of performing all the other characters as well. ( )

Liked (well saddened) by Beau's partner's death. On the one hand, the "curse" was interesting and showed JP to be sensitive, but it would have been better to ultimately have a plausible explanation. ( )
