Twanged

Regan Reilly plans to spend her Fourth of July week vacationing in the Hamptons at her parents' home and also with her best friend, Kit, who has a share in a group house.

A last-minute phone call, however, casts Regan's trip in a new light.

Brigid O'Neill, a rising country star, has been getting frightening "love notes" and she hires Regan as her bodyguard for a Fourth of July concert in Southampton.

Brigid plans to play a fiddle given to her in Ireland and said to have magic powers.

She later learns the rest of its legend - whoever takes it out of Ireland will have an accident or face death.

A guest found floating face-down in a pool at Chappy's welcoming party for Brigid is only the first in a series of ominous incidents.

As Brigid's Fourth of July concert nears, it looks as if the cursed fiddle should be shipped back to Ireland - Express Mail!

It's Regan's job to hold the curse at bay and fend off Brigid's pursuers.
