Portrait of Evil

One of the greatest tragedies a person can experience is the death of his or her child. The pain is absolutely excruciating, and it takes months, maybe even years, before the bereaved parent can again approach life with an even keel, let alone with a smile.

So why is it that, the day after her twenty-six-year-old son's death, Lilith was seen laughing in public? Shouldn't she have been crying or screaming instead: in a twilight of disbelief, in a stunned, almost catatonic state?

When Nymark asked herself these very questions, the answer she came up with chilled her to her core. The young man, she determined, probably wasn't dead, and his "demise" was likely just another of Lilith's evil schemes. But what kind of person-let alone a mother-would do such an unthinkable thing?

"Portrait of Evil" chronicles Lilith's history of evil acts in a small town in Florida, including her involvement in multiple murders. A fictional account loosely based on real people and events, it's sure to surprise you with every turn of the page and leave you thinking about the nature of evil and how it manifests itself in the world around us.
