On vacation, she takes an antique train to a place called Stellenbosch in South Africa, where she hopes for a quiet rest, but her reputation for fighting the forces of evil will propel her into a den of wickedness that has created a reign of terror which has plagued the town for over 100 years. This is a woman who understands that when battling evil it is not the soft light of peace that is always needed, but a raging fire; the clamouring shower of lightning that with accompanying rumbling thunder makes the evil ones know that retribution is on its way. Sometimes justice requires the storm, the whirlwind and the earthquake. This time, Wayne Frye, the writer called the Rembrandt of words by European critics, has conjured up an evil like no other. The abomination in room 227 of the Stellenbosch Inn is more than just a ghost.

This is a thriller and a love story that never lets up in propelling the reader into a strange world of circumstances that thrusts two people into the ultimate showdown with evil. When we imagine something wicked and full of vice, we tend to use inaccurate visual shorthand. All too often we think of evil as something ugly, dark and scary. We see it as something that leaves a mark on the flesh that can be detected by mere looks. We actually expect images of evil to look malevolent and abnormal, as a comforting sign that the evil ones are physically totally different from the rest of us, allowing us to believe that humanity as a whole is not wretched and irredeemable. Yet, the banker with immaculately coiffured hair and toned features sitting behind a desk in his fine suit can destroy more people with a pen than a wild-eye terrorist can with a machine-gun or a bomb. A cleric with a sharp tongue of condemnation can shred decency with lips that spew more evil than the devil could muster from the fiery pits of hell. Evil actually has no face.

Demon fighter, Lynton Viñas, meets Beowulf Perez, who has been assigned the task of exorcising a demon from an impressionable young girl in a small village near one of the world's most active volcanoes. The two of them are mystified when the demon Elashabab challenges them to a duel of wills for the girl's soul. This is the first graphic Lynton novel that introduces a more seductive Lynton who must not only battle a demon but also ward-off the lecherous intentions of two men who find her captivating and alluring. Still, she is, as always, a staunch defender of the downtrodden and hopeless who are abused by an economic system based on greed. In the process, she goes up against an arrogant priest who seems to be more interested in protecting the church than defending a young girl from the demon that wants her soul. Evil was already in the homes of the wealthy, but it was not satisfied with the people who had sold their souls for riches, as for some reason it took greater delight in dwelling within those who had so little. Perhaps that was the real mark of evil, the real sign of its insidious intents. It took delight in destroying that which had already had life reduced to a constant struggle to keep from sinking, sinking ever deeper into the quagmire of poverty. This will be Lynton's greatest battle, but by her side is a true staunch defender of the downtrodden.
