Publisher's Synopsis
This is the story of Claire DuMond, a charming and determined young newspaper reporter, who goes on a quest to save her father and in the process discovers not only herself, but nothing less than the secret of life. It begins because Claire cannot believe her father would just lapse into a coma for no apparent reason. Even his doctors are mystified. But one thing is certain, the clock is ticking, and she must find the cause before it's too late. A clue points to the Caribbean island of Martinique, where her father was born and raised. Claire goes there, puts her investigative reporting skills to work, and soon learns someone will do just about anything to keep the past buried and her from learning the truth. Is her father the victim of a voodoo curse? Perhaps a voodoo shaman can tell her.Fair warning-plan ahead before you begin reading this novel. If you start too late in the day, you may end up missing a full night's sleep.
