The Book of the Damned

Welcome to the nightmare world of Paradys! Jehanine: demon or saint? Her days she spent at the Nunnery of the Angel; her nights in the vicious back-streets of Paradys, wreaking revenge on men for the wrongs she had suffered at their hands. How fast does a man run when the Devil is after him? Andre St Jean is about to find out, as a young man collapses at his feet and presses into his hand a strange scarab ring, containing the secret of life. The stranger pushed a note across the table: "In a week or less I shall be dead." In a week, he was, and most unnaturally. She found herself drawn to the house where he died, to unravel the web of mystery and horror that had been spun about him.
