Carl Danby returns to tackle yet another unusual case.
Dennis Bernard is thirty years old. He believes in the family curse—many relatives never live to see their thirty-first birthday. Worried about Dennis’ well-being, his girlfriend hires the Hudson Detective Agency. The case is assigned to Carl Danby, but how does one investigate a curse?
Danby hits the streets with his tag-along sidekick, Junior. To make matters worse, the boss has also assigned a famous mystery writer to dog their footsteps so she can observe how a private detective operates.
To Danby’s dismay, the mystery writer doesn’t quietly sit back and watch Danby and Junior at work. Instead, she throws herself into the investigation with various theories and explanations.
As Dennis’ birthday fast approaches, will the detective trio be able to keep him alive?
