A Summer Woman, a Child of The Devil, With a Hunger for Men... and ViolenceMarie is a power-hungry adultress who lives in a world of men -- and enemies. Her heart is a raging furnace fueled by greed and desire. Her passion is to inflame and consume men, leaving behind her the ashes of dead loves. In the summer resort where she reigned, man-after-man felt the touch of her fire, woman-after-woman shriveled up in her fierce glow...and the human debris mounted. Then the stranger came among them, a man on-the-run with a past too heavy to carry, with a granite heart and hands to tear the world apart... or snuff out a life. And so they met, fire beat against unmelting rock, and the air of summer was charged with the stifling heat ...and the chill of impending death.
