This gripping mystery unfolds as DI Wesley Peterson investigates a decades-old massacre that resurfaces with deadly consequences in A Cursed Inheritance.
In A Cursed Inheritance, the chilling tale begins with a brutal massacre that occurred at Potwoolstan Hall in Devon back in 1985. This shocking event not only horrified the nation but also became a part of local folklore. Fast forward twenty years, and the dark past resurfaces when a journalist, delving into the infamous case, is murdered. The echoes of the past grow louder, and DI Wesley Peterson finds himself embroiled in a mystery that intertwines history with modern-day horrors.
Potwoolstan Hall, a sixteenth-century structure that now serves as a New Age healing center, carries a reputation of being cursed, rooted in the sinister actions of its original builder. As DI Peterson investigates, he faces unsettling questions regarding the inheritance of evil that seems to linger within the walls of the hall. The case takes a bizarre turn when a young woman creates a dolls house that eerily mirrors the scene of the massacre, prompting further exploration into the motivations behind this unsettling tribute.
As DI Wesley Peterson delves deeper into the investigation, he discovers that the threads of the case may extend beyond the borders of England, reaching into the remnants of an early English settlement in Virginia, USA. With each revelation, the truth becomes more horrifying and dangerous, leading to a climax that challenges everything he thought he knew about the past and its impact on the present.
