Book Description
Journey Into Evil
At Modane, a tiny French border town, Paul, a Paris lawyer, encounters a young widow and her party. She is taking the corpse of her newly dead husband home to Sicily for burial. At first, the woman seems twisted with grief - but there is something strangely magnetic about her and Paul is drawn into helping her finish her journey. As Paul follows the grim party into the lush Italian countryside, the widow seems to change slowly - then swiftly - into a sensuous, irresistible blonde beauty - who enthralls him with her exotic sexuality... This is the story of a strange journey that rolls inexorably onward - quickened by weird happenings, unexpected violence, mounting passion and suspense - to a nightmarish conclusion somewhere on the desolate, rockbound Sicilian coast...
