by California Author C.L. Hernandez
August 22, 2016 — Vancouver, WA (USA) — Barking Rain Press, a non-profit fiction
publisher, announced the paperback and eBook release of the ghostly urban fantasy thriller The
Curious Case of the Tuscan Plague Doctor by Modesto, California, author C.L. Hernandez.
Other works from C.L. Hernandez include two dark fantasy series, The Complicated Life of
Deegie Tibbs and Horror Story Six-Packs.
Putting a messy divorce behind her, antiques dealer Zolena Gillette moves her shop from Las
Vegas to the peace and quiet of a small town on the outskirts of Reno. After purchasing a blindbox of antiques at an estate auction, Zolena discovers she has acquired a valuable piece of dark
history: an authentic plague doctor’s mask from 17th century Italy. While searching to find a
buyer for the macabre artifact, however, she quickly discovers that the mask is haunted by the
tormented spirit of a medieval plague doctor.
The terrifying specter forces Zolena and her shop assistant, Jake Della Russo, to relive his final
days in plague-ridden Tuscany through the ruby-red eyes of his mask. Worst of all, no matter
how hard they try to get rid of it, the haunted mask always seems to find its way back to the
shop—and anyone who gets in the way ends up dead. Can Zolena and Jake figure out what the
plague doctor wants and put an end to the ghastly visions and mysterious deaths, once and for
all?
