A Cursed Inheritance

Kate Ellis

The brutal massacre of the Harford family at Potwoolstan Hall in 1985 shocked the country and passed into local folklore. And when a journalist researching the case is murdered twenty years later, the horror is reawakened. Sixteenth-century Potwoolstan hall, now a New Age healing centre, is reputed to be cursed because of the crimes of its builder, and it seems that this inheritance of evil lives on a DI Wesley Peterson is faced with his most disturbing case yet. As more people die in violent circumstances, Wesley needs to discover why a young woman has transformed a doll's house into a miniature reconstruction of the massacre scene. And could the solution to his case lie across the Atlantic Ocean in the ruined remains of an early English settlement in Virginia, USA?
