Despite their doubts, the detectives readily agree to take the case. Andreika is very persuasive, or she has cast a spell on the duo Entering a deadly occult world of modern-day witches and warlocks, Harrison and Wolffe encounter a strange assortment of weird suspects, any one of which has motive, opportunity, and desire to hire a wicked warlock as a hit man. But they focus on Golar and follow him into the darkest corners of San Francisco. As their investigation continues, the detectives soon realize that the warlock may have once again cast his Death Spell-and they are his targets.

Spells that Cure is a book based on the Father of the Family Tree, a study of what the Doctor does to cure diseases. Not to replace Doctors advice, the spells in this book may work for you. As I have heard, it couldn't hurt. Based on Navigations of Genealogies that Peoples have intentionally built in order to cause disorder to the people who invade, the book shows the proper way these people save themselves and their people and curse the invaders. For instance the cure for Gout is a navigation to an ancestor that can be navigated away from if the path is known. If its not known then the patient will continue to suffer. All of these cures are experimental, and of course the Doctor does ""Practice Medicine"". These spells might add to the cure of some diseases that the patient may contact. Such as uncontrollable itching. Knowing how to cast this the itching might stop!!!! The Author is proud of this work and is happy to add this title to the Starr Books Bibliography.
