The Curse of Khepri
When shy, introverted Enid returns home from a vacation in the UK, she's got a surprise waiting for her: There's a grandfather of hers her family never talked about. He is dying, and now she's got one last chance to meet him. Only at his deathbed does she learn she has inherited not only considerable wealth from him--including a storage in Paris chock-full of ancient artifacts--but also more trouble than she could possibly handle, and an honest-to-goodness curse on top of it. The more about her family history is revealed, the more obvious it gets: Wherever they walked, her grandfather, her great-grandfather ... death and disaster would inevitably follow in their wake. And now it follows her. Half a century in Enid's past, seemingly unconnected, German noblewoman Henrietta von Arenberg witnesses in horror as a friend of hers gets almost murdered by a demonic doppelganger. ========== This story is aimed at adult readers . . .
