She’s been (obsessively) keeping security on a suspicious next door neighbor (suspect’s name: John Brown), convinced he’s up to no good-even if her parents (the management at Spellman Investigations) aren’t.
When the (displeased) management refuses to bail Izzy out, it is Morty, Izzy’s octogenarian attorney, who comes to her rescue. But before he can create a protection, he has to understand the facts. Over weak coffee and diner sandwiches, Izzy unveils the whole truth and nothing but the truth-as just she, a thirty-year-old certified professional, can.

As Curse from the Spellmans unfolds, it’s obvious that Morty may be on retainer, but Izzy is still very much on the case…er, cases-her own which of each other Spellman relative.
