What happens when you touch a cursed object? In 1969 Birmingham, three people found out - and disappeared forever.

This vintage mystery begins when a leather grimoire with eternally wet ink appears in a library basement. Everyone who handled this cursed object vanished from locked rooms: art student Alan Price disappeared from his flat, chemistry student Keith Dryer vanished from his dorm, psychology student Marion Holt disappeared from a locked police cell.

Victoria Unikel investigates the cursed book that made people disappear throughout 1969, examining how victims vanished without explanation and why Detective Charlie Hewson claimed the grimoire's sigil grew with each disappearance before his own mysterious death.

This cursed object case remains unsolved - the book was never found, and neither were the people who vanished after touching it.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
