by Clarissa Ross

Who was Mr. Asmodeus? What strange power did he control? Mario Holt's fiance Hugh hinted darkly at the old man's illegal past, but Marie knew him only as a kindly white-haired stranger -- a patron of the arts who had offered to recoup the losses of her failing art gallery. She couldn't refuse his generosity, and when he had proven his honorable intentions, she couldn't refuse the hospitality of his Long Island mansion. But what he did he want in return? And, more important, why couldn't show more Marie ask him that question? show less

Clarissa Ross is the pen name of W. E. Daniel Ross, who wrote over 300 books under a variety of names. He churned out a lot of books, and it is evident that he preferred quantity over quality. The writing is fairly juvenile and the plot is resolved too easily.

A woman opens an art gallery and meets a mysterious stranger, Mr. Asmodeus. After selling him 3 paintings, she begins to experience success at her gallery. Mr. Asmodeus becomes more involved with her life and the gallery. Her friends try to warn her something is wrong with him, but she is blinded by the money and doesn't believe them.

A fast read. Poorly written but interesting.
