In Prohibition-era San Francisco, Swedish archaeologist Lowe Magnusson is in possession of the djed amulet, a priceless Egyptian artefact, which will provide Lowe with a hefty paycheck from one of San Francisco's wealthiest families. But when the handsome Swede runs into his patron's uptight daughter, what he once considered easy money becomes maddeningly complicated. Cursed with deadly spirits as her constant companions, curator Hadley must keep calm to keep her spectres at bay. But Lowe is driving her crazy and the amulet seems to be casting a mysterious power on them both.
