Just hours after a meeting with plus-size paralegal Odelia Grey, Sterling Price, a long-time client and lunchbox collector, is found murdered in his spacious office suite. Missing is the jewel of his collection, a lunchbox nicknamed The Holy Pail, worth a small fortune and rumored to be cursed. Despite her protests, everyone believes Odelia has the missing lunchbox; a possibility shared by Detective Devon Frye and attorney Michael Steele after Odelia’s law firm is vandalized. Determined to prove them wrong, Odelia embarks upon an investigation of her own into the history of The Holy Pail, including the background of its previous owners, all reportedly dead.

The Curse of the Holy Pail is the second installment in the Odelia Grey Mystery series.
