A professor ponders the possibility of an ancient Viking curse
while investigating a death by quicklime, in a novel by the Edgar
Award-nominated author. When 105-year-old Hilda Horsefall tells
young reporter Cronkite Swope of a stone carved with Norse runes
that once sat in the nearby woods, the writer starts salivating at
the thought of breaking the news that Vikings once marauded through
their sleepy Massachusetts countryside. But while he's jotting down
notes, a scream rings out, and Cronkite finds an even bigger story.
A farmhand has been burned to death by quicklime, and Cronkite gets
an exclusive scoop. In this neck of New England, strange deaths are
invariably referred to Prof. Peter Shandy, the only local with the
know-how to connect fearsome quicklime to the Vikings of old. But
as he digs into the ancient mystery, the professor finds the
forgotten Norse gods aren't above demanding a modern sacrifice.
