But what is a wife to do when her husband has been missing for six months and she starts to look like the prime suspect? Marlowe is no stranger to trouble. An outcast in her own community for being one of those "hoodoo women," who can curse you or cast you under her beguiling spell, Marlowe is shunned at every turn-until her whirlwind marriage in Mexico to Eddie Price. For Marlowe and Eddie, there is no such thing as trouble in paradise. But when Marlowe witnesses a dead man being hauled by Eddie from his car, the illusion comes crashing down around her and she knows she has to move fast before the devil comes calling once again.
