Portrait of Evil

"On an isolated island, a family curse draws an innocent girt to a macabre and deadly destiny...." Great Stuff in a classic book with one of the most intriguing illustrations ever seen on a book. The Creighton family was cursed. Everyone on the small isolated island called Dead Man's Key knew it. And they were afraid -- because without warning, without reason, the innocent among them began to die. Beth Palmer had come to the Creighton mansion as an auditor, unaware of the nameless evil that tainted the family's blood. But as the inexplicable deaths continued and the islanders began to threaten the occupants of the great mansion, Beth realized there was more to the curse than mere superstition. And as she found herself attracted to Charles Creighton, her own unspoken fear mounted to terror. One of the Creightons was using the accursed birthright to kill -- and the man she loved might soon be her murderer. . .
