Blackbeard's Curse

When Clara Dare is summoned back home a month later, she finds her Aunt Eloise in a fierce legal battle over Uncle Jack's estate. New details about Uncle Jack's secret life arise that, combined with Clara Dare's cousins' strange behavior and the discovery of a series of cryptic journal entries made by the infamous pirate, Blackbeard, just months before his capture in 1718, soon draw Clara Dare into a race against time with a ruthless killer.

With the help of her childhood friend, Detective Tara Thompson, her brother-in-law, Vasek, and a contingent of her mother's friends who are privy to all of the local gossip, Clara Dare must get to the bottom of the nearly 300-year-old mystery of Blackbeard's treasure before another body is found and priceless artifacts are lost forever.
