The Dain Curse by Dashiell Hammett
A hard-boiled detective investigates a chain of jewel thefts and murders blamed on a wealthy family’s ominous “curse,” only to find a vulnerable young woman ensnared by addiction and a manipulative pseudo-religious cult. Untangling lies, staged miracles, and ruthless schemes, he exposes the human greed behind the superstition and fights to pull her toward recovery, revealing that the curse is merely a cover for calculated violence and deceit.
