Brandon Goodman is the catch of a lifetime. He's handsome, rich, and dead. His family, friends, and business associates expected to see him return from his honeymoon tanned and smiling. Instead, he was found face down in a pool of his own blood. Now that Rebecca is a wealthy widow, she wants her first husband, Matthew Billingsley, back in her arms again.

But there are two problems: first, Matthew is the prime suspect in the murder of Rebecca's deceased millionaire husband; and second, Matthew is in love with another woman. Rebecca, not happy with Matthew's rejection of her, places the noose around Matthew's throat and starts to tighten it. Will Brandon Goodman's killer be caught and brought to justice before Rebecca, and her accomplice, successfully pins the murder on Matthew? And what (or who), other than rejection and greed, is the driving force that could possibly place Rebecca in this web of deceit to want Matthew - a man who she still carries a torch for - to become a perfect scapegoat for a murder she knows he didn't commit.

This novel flits and flutters like a worm as it struggles to free itself from the spiraling and piercing hook that dangles at the end of the line on a fishing rod. And, as Rebecca manipulates everyone involved - including a corruptive police detective - readers will wonder if the next bend in the road, or the next struggle of the worm, is Dead Man's Curve. One thing is sure; before it's over, the worm will turn.
