Description
📖 Paperback Edition — Her touch has burned everyone for a hundred years. The appraiser who grabbed her hand didn’t even blister.
Jo Rook appraises cursed objects for a living, and she has exactly one rule: never touch anything with your bare hands. Hired to value a dead collector’s hoard before a Vermont estate sale, she arrives at a slate manor on the lip of a black quarry with three weeks on the clock and a sealed letter from the dead woman: Appraise Item 0 before anything is sold. Trust no one who has been paid.
The heir is Calandra Voss, a wardwright in black kid gloves who keeps every chair in the house an arm’s length apart and every guest six feet away. She looks thirty-four. She was born in 1878. And for a hundred and fourteen years, every person who has touched her skin has burned.
Then a cabinet comes off a wall, and Jo grabs her bare hand to pull her clear. Nothing happens. No burn. No scream. Just the first touch Calandra has felt since 1958, and a hunger neither woman is equipped to handle.
But the curse has to go somewhere. And the kindly Concord physician who has treated Calandra four times a year since 1912 knows exactly where.
