It took Harry Cornell two years to figure out that his wife, Karen
Payne, did not die in the World Trade Center on nine-eleven. He
discovers that his wife had been obsessed with finding an historic
African artifact, a carved statue of a Bantu warrior, brought to
America on a slave ship in the late eighteenth century. Convinced
that finding the artifact will lead to his wife, Cornell travels to
the Sea Islands off the coast of South Carolina. The trail narrows
to the five star resort of Hilton Head Island. His first discovery
is the murder of his wife''s former lover who also was reported as
a casualty of nine-eleven. The brutal murder draws him deep into
the low country and the world of the Gullah and root doctors.
Cornell discovers that these medicine men of years past still work
voodoo magic. He finds others are intensely interested in locating
the artifact as well. Rebecca Kane claims that the carved statue is
an heirloom of her family and she knows her fellow native islanders
will help her find it. Clinton Cooper, the unscrupulous and
disgraced former CEO, is convinced the artifact will lead to a
hoard of diamonds and gold bullion, a treasure he desperately
needs. The root doctor unleashes his terrible magic to help Rebecca
Kane locate the artifact but the costs are high. In the end the
legendary curse that accompanied the Gullah Prince works it evil
one final time.
