    About this ebook

    In a farmhouse on the outskirts of Winston-Salem, PI Marshall Drummond is hired to help a girl accidentally cursed. But soon he is in a fight for his life when the girl's parents prove to be more dangerous than the curse itself.

    Welcome to the Marshall Drummond Case Files. These stories explore the dark mysteries and thrilling adventures of 1940s PI, Marshall Drummond, before he died and became the ghost detective found in the bestselling Max Porter Paranormal Mysteries.

      MARSHALL DRUMMOND COULD PUSH THE MODEL A only so fast before he risked the old Ford burning up on him. Driving from Winston-Salem to Greensboro always required a solid two hours, but this time, the minutes seemed to drag and taunt him simultaneously. With the sun setting and the headlights barely good enough to meet the road, he worried he might be forced to slow down even more.

      Lighting a cigarette, he readjusted on the seat. Go over it again, he said to the woman sitting next to him. We won’t reach your farm for a bit, and the more I know what to expect, the better.

      He meant what he said; however, he withheld the fact that the more times a story was told, the more details he could glean from it. Plus, having a person retell their story made it easier to spot lies — a trick Drummond had picked up back in his days on the police force, back before he had ever seen a ghost, back when the idea of being a private eye for the weird and unexplained never even crossed his mind. He didn’t doubt Amanda McCullen’s tale, but he had the gut feeling that she withheld a few key items.

      Give me that, she said, swiping the cigarette from his mouth. She took a long drag while staring out the window, wincing as if the act caused her pain. Her eyes sunk deep into her troubled brow as her cracked lips found the cigarette once again. She handed it back to Drummond and rubbed her temples. The bracelet around her bony wrist jangled as it slid toward her elbow. Most of her bones pressed against her skin. The economic depression had lasted for so many years now that many people had wasted away to almost nothing.

      But that wasn’t the reason for her malnourished look, and he knew it. After all, the McCullen tobacco farm had done well enough for several years — especially with the rising war in Europe. People
