Evil Eye

Alexandria, Egypt--1919 The exorcism was almost complete. The priests had overcome the old man's fierce resistance, and as if lancing a boil, had drawn the evil power from his body. But before they could finish the ceremony of purification, something happened--something that would change the world. New York City--Today The Forrester family was rich, powerful and nasty--the kind of people who would steal the pennies from a dead man's eyes. Arrogant and contemptuous, they ruined lives as easily as they bought and sold companies. Yet they were suddenly faced with a problem: Tony Filestra. Although he was merely a pawn in their corporate empire, Filestra had an ally more ruthless than even the Forresters--an aged grandmother with a thirst for revenge and the incredible power of the Evil Eye.

"Once in a while a jewel will come along. Like any diamond in the rough, one has to take the time to scrape away the dirt to get at the precious substance that lies beneath. Ehren M. Ehly's latest novel is just such a jewel. Once you get past the menacing cover art and her brief prologue, a truly wondrous tale unfolds.
