The cast and crew of a hit British TV show are rumored to be
cursed--but are these spooky deaths coincidences or murder? It's up to
Bath detective Peter Diamond to find out.
In the six years since the start of the hit British TV show Swift, its
cast and crew have been plagued by misfortune, beginning with the star
actress's pulling out of the show before it began. By now there have
been multiple injuries by fall, fire, or drowning; two deaths; and two
missing persons cases.
The media quickly decides it's a curse, but who's to say there isn't a
criminal conspiracy afoot? Now that the filming has moved to Bath, Peter
Diamond, Chief of the Avon and Somerset Murder Squad, is on the case.
While the investigation into one fatal accident is underway, a cameraman
goes missing, challenging even the most credulous to wonder if he might
have been the victim of foul play rather than a jinx. How can so many
things go wrong on one set in such a short time?
Complicating already complex matters is the fact that Diamond's boss is
trying her best to get him out of her hair; he may be forced to retire
if he can't solve the case. Will this be the end for Peter Diamond?
