The Case of the Gypsy Curse: A Raymond Masters Mystery

Raymond Masters #7

by Garrison Flint

Seven of the past nine leaders of an off-beat fraternal order in a small Wyoming town died mysterious deaths. There have been no wounds and no traces of poison. There has, however, been a long-standing Gypsy curse against the group. Natural causes? Coincidence? Curse? Masters doesn't think so. Not only, does he nail the perpetrator(s?) of these seven crimes, but he puts the screws to four more along the way.

The Grand Order of Knights, an exclusive fraternal organization in Allentown, Wyoming, hires consulting detective Raymond Masters to investigate the mysterious deaths of seven of its members. The seven had died in seven different years on March 22, at a special annual dinner held by the Knights at the time of the vernal equinox. The deaths had begun shortly after a curse had been placed on the Knights.

Like other mysteries in this series, this case has a lot of "moving parts," but Masters expertly sorts them all out, assisted by B.L. Roman, a brilliant local teenager with an extensive knowledge of Allentown and its inhabitants.
