A notable archaeologist, close to finding a priceless artifact, meets
his untimely demise-- Matthew Shane vows to find his murderer
Matthew Shane is a law professor in Salem, Massachusetts, where he
enjoys a rewarding mentorship with Professor Barrington Holmes, a
well-known archaeologist. So when Professor Holmes is found dead in his
office and the police rule it a suicide, something doesn't sit right
with Matthew. He becomes determined to find the true cause of Holmes'
death and bring closure to his widow.
Matthew soon learns that Professor Holmes belonged to a group of notable
archaeologists dubbed " The Monkey's Paw," who were all entangled in an
expedition to find an unknown object of unprecedented historical and
financial value. Each member had been given one piece of the
instructions to find the object, but some of the men had encountered
horrific twists of fate before the group could reunite to continue in
their search. Joining forces with the remaining members, Matthew's quest
for the cause of the apparent curse of The Monkey's Paw leads him on a
global wild goose chase that culminates in a turn of events not even
Professor Holmes could have predicted.
