A centuries old family curse resurfaces to torment the only two remaining family members of the old Hammond dynasty, who call in the aid of Supersensitive Luna Bartendale, who unravels an ancient ancestral curse with looming lycanthropy, a soupçon of Satanism and a cryptographic conundrum to boot, all set against the backdrop of the Sussex South Downs.
