Conversations with the Devil

New York Times bestselling author Jeff Rovin has held readers in breathless suspense with his Tom Clancys Op-Center novels, which have addressed questions of good and evil in our times. Now, Rovin confronts the question of good and evil on the ultimate battleground. A human soul hangs in the balance, and thousands of years of religious teachings depict only the beginning of the fight for dominion over man. Psychologist Sarah Lynch is stunned when one of her young patients hangs himself. Evidence reveals that Fredric had become a Satanist. Intending to solve the puzzle of Fredrics death, Sarah attempts to conjure the devilsurely then she will understand what the teenager was thinking. Sarah knows that belief in God and the Devil is a construct of the human mind and that people contain within them both good and evil. Sarah herself lost her faith more than a decade ago, during a personal crisis. But she is dedicated to giving others the help she did not receive. Even the nun who is Sarahs best friend cannot break through Sarahs shield of cynicism. But Satan can. Conjured as an experiment, the Devil himself rises in Sarahs office. Sometimes a being of dark smoke and sometimes a creature of all-too-perfect, seductive flesh, Satan claims that only by following him can people find real happiness. In the Devils theology, God is a jealous bully. Slowly, Sarah comes to believe him. She forgets that Satan is the Master of Lies.
