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?
