Publisher's Synopsis
A green gemstone dating from the Crusades, embedded in the handle of a beautiful old dagger, draws Kathy Chatsworth into a dangerous family tradition fuelled by pride and passion ... and now murder again.
Kathy is a journalist with the instincts of a detective. Sandy Brampton is a detective with a soft spot for Kathy. Together they tackle the mystery of the bloody dagger she found hidden in the hedge near a dying victim.
Suspects in the murder include the hapless owner of the dagger, a jealous colleague who happens to be a champion knife fighter, a spurned lover and an overworked nurse.
Kathy has her work cut out for her as she follows the bloody trail of a Dagger for Danger. Is it truly cursed? Or is something all too human behind the brutal slaying of a young woman who dies in Kathy's arms. How many other victims have there been, and will there be more?
