Synopsis

Synopsis - 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...
