Book Of Shadows

Crazy Eddie studiert eine Prophezeiung, die zu einer Meldung aus Salem passt: Das Mädchen Diana Black behauptet eine Hexe zu sein und wird beschuldigt, drei Personen ermordet zu haben. Cade versucht, ihr als Ermittler der Verteidigung zu helfen. Er ist erstaunt, als sie vor Gericht plötzlich behauptet, Aliens gesehen zu haben.

Quatrain 42, Century 6. "The dark craft shall slay the dragons, conjured by the humble raven / Justice shall be blind to history, until windswept leaves return to the barren tree." This Nostradamus quatrain brought me to Salem, Oregon, where high school cheerleader, Diana Black, was charged with multiple first-degree murders. She killed three prominent Salem citizens with poisoned cookies, a helluva fundraiser for the cheerleading squad. Diana claimed to be a witch... I came to see if her dark powers were of the alien variety. The defense needed an investigator, so Crazy Eddie created the credentials, and guess who got the job? It was time to see what was brewing. The courthouse was crawling with shutterbugs, so I had to keep my profile low. One picture could put me in a headlock with the long arm of the law. This investigation was not going to be easy. District Attorney Warren Phips was taking the witch hunt as far as he could. The case was stacked up against Diana.
