A night to remember…
When Alexander and Norma Gold decide to attend a charity Opera event, in support of Tay-Sachs, raising money for Genetic Diseases, neither Alexander, nor Norma, are ready for the events that unfold that evening.
Aimed at billionaires, the over-priced seats are justified by the fact that well-known actors and singers will be on stage for the popular Rigoletto.
To Alexander, a private investigator, the plot is one that he finds hard to believe: how can a person be stabbed through the heart, then, ten minutes later, sing in the finale?
With seats costing double their usual price, and with his famous actors and singers, director Jan Valczyk intends to give the audience a premium show.
This show will be as real as it can get in theatre. And that’s the truth.
In the darkness, as requested by the director, the audience watch and listen.
But for a murderer, this is the perfect setting…
As the story unfolds on stage, Alexander and Norma start to notice the undercurrents between the actors.
With Julia Baron predicting certain tragedies, the Gold’s chalk the undercurrents as part of the acting.
Suddenly, Thea Malabar is dead…and not just in the show.
How could this have happened? And why?
Horrified by the killing of his former love, Minos Zacharias retains the services of A.I.K Inc., Private Investigators, for a rather substantial sum.
As Alexander and Norma start to investigate, alongside the police investigation, they uncover little more than the underlying suspicious nature behind Thea's death.
Could there be a link between Thea and Helen’s deaths?
With no solid leads to follow, and with everyone seen as a potential suspect, the Gold’s are at a standstill. Playing each suspect off against each other is the only way forward.
Or is there one other option they can try before they admit they are no closer to finding the killer than the police?
The Gold Curse is a thriller filled with all the intrigue and drama of a real-life theatre performance.

Is this the perfect crime…?
Meet Norma and Alexandra Gold – New York Sleuths with an old-fashioned solution to murder.
They solve it – it’s as simple as that.
Irascible, brilliant, and somewhat overweight Alexander Gold was recovering from a heart attack.
Yet Norma Gold was sure her good friend Pearl would be the death of him with her incessant request that Alexander solve a murder!
But as Pearl pointed out, Alexander Gold was a genius at solving puzzles and this puzzling case had everybody stumped.
One of America’s top architects, Roger Talbott, had been mysteriously killed in the locked studio atop his New York townhouse.
The only suspect happened to be the nice young man engaged to Pearl’s niece, who was caught red-handed with the murder weapon.
When Norma starts digging, she soon finds multiple motives for murder bubbling just below the surface.
It is very clear that Talbott was not a popular man, particularly among his business partners.
Together, Norma and Alexander are a formidable crime solving duo.
But have they finally come across a case that they cannot solve?
The Gold Solution is the first book in the Norma and Alexander Gold Thriller series from Herbert Resnicow.
