99p “Cursed” by Stephen Leather

available at iBooks

Jack Nightingale – lives in the shadows, fights in the dark.

Ex-cop turned private eye Jack Nightingale is used to dealing with tricky situations. He’s faced down the powers of hell a couple of times, too. In this new short story, he’s called in to help a policeman who’s lying at death’s door. The doctors can’t work out what’s wrong. But the dying man’s colleagues swear blind that he was cursed by a gypsy during the Dale Farm clearance. And Nightingale could be his only hope.

Jack Nightingale is the hero of Stephen Leather’s supernatural detective trilogy which began with NIGHTFALL, continued with MIDNIGHT, and reaches a devastating conclusion in NIGHTMARE.
