Phantoms and Gemstones Milton Grasle

In Bracken City, nothing is ever as it seems... Mike Falco is a Restorative Justice Specialist, a present day private eye with 1940's methods of seeking justice for his clients when the system fails to do so. He'll take on anything, until vivacious Victoria Lindsey walks into his office and requests he do murder to remove a curse placed on her. Mike doesn't want the job, but doesn't get to refuse. Victoria drops dead in his office, leaving behind a paper with cryptic symbols and a small black gemstone. Mike finds himself thrust into a world filled with strange homicidal characters, who now believe he was Victoria's accomplice. Will he be the curse's next victim? Mike's tackled some tough assignments, and he's used to the odds being stacked against him, but this might prove to be too much of a challenge. Even for Mike Falco.
