Chance 9

Chance Sharpe wouldn't consider himself a gentleman if he didn't come to the rescue of a beautiful damsel-in-distress. What he didn't expect was an attempt on his own life that leaves him close to death. Lucky to survive, he is invited to visit the indebted Walsh family to their palatial home. Which suited Chance just fine as he has more than eyes for the beautiful damsel, Anne. No sooner over the threshold he becomes involved in fighting the ancient curse that's supposedly ravaging her family. At first, it sounded loco to riverboat gambler. But when the "spirit" demonstrates its grisly handiwork—seeing is believing! Now as something deadly stalks the Walshes one by one, it's up to Chance to unmask a killer cloaked in the swirling mists of the Louisiana bayou. He has seven days to get to the bottom of the mystery—or six people's lives won't be worth a red cent!
