The curse of Count Badeau
The uncivilized wilds of St. Louis in the 1830’s was no place for a French countess. But Theresa was no ordinary countess, instead, a woman drawn to the untamed landscape of Missouri. Her husband, Count Louis Badeau, loved Theresa more than life itself. His wedding gift to her, a hundred karat pink diamond which she wore proudly around her neck, the priceless diamond which rested over her heart. But his love went even further. He conceded to come to the uncultivated land of America to fulfill her dream.
When the dust cleared on June 21, 1840 in the wilderness western of St. Louis, the Countess was dead, gunned down by Bavarian outlaws who sought the pink diamond. On that day, Count Badeau saw his own life end, a life so intertwined with his lovely bride, that it no longer had meaning without her. In deep pain and contempt, Louis schemed a plan of revenge. Five men had been responsible for her death. Their lives must be forfeited to vindicate it. Clues would be given to those men of greed to lead them to the hidden diamond–and die in the process.
But something went wrong. The diamond was never found. Nearly a 200 years later, the story of Count Badeau had become a local legend, many wondering if there was truth in its roots. Twelve year old, Stuart Anderson was one such person, a young boy who sought to find the pink diamond, one said to be hidden in dirt and clay. But a curse was bound to the diamond, one meant bring death to anyone who sought after the pink jewel.
