An unconventional woman and a man shrouded in mystery race against a killer . . .

Trapeze artist Amalie Vaughn moved to Burning Cove to reinvent herself, but things are not going well.

And when her first guest, Dr. Norman Pickwell, is found murdered, rumours about the curse grow even louder . . .

Meanwhile, infamous gangster Matthias Jones is on the trail of a groundbreaking cipher machine. He suspects that Pickwell stole the device and planned to sell it.
