Frannie Rosen wanted to be an award-winning actress more than anything she had ever wanted before. However, she knows that she must work her way to the top and to do this, she takes a role in Victor Madison's new film as a double. Though, it is not a huge part for her, this role has meat to it. The movie is based around a young girl who is possessed by a demon. Strange things have been happening on the set and the word around town is the Forever Asmodeus movie is cursed. Frannie herself is dealing with odd occurrences but does not even want to consider that her body might be inhabited by a demon. When Victor Madison is murdered, no one knows what to think or who to suspect. Frannie feels her very sanity is hanging in the balance but little does she know that her soul might be in danger too.

Fifty Cents for Your Soul is a huge departure from Denise Dietz's previous cozy mysteries. Dietz is a unique and talented writer. This book is very dark and shows the scope of her writing. All the details in the book are amazingly realistic, which has much to do with the fact that Dietz's sister was a double in "The Exorcist." This is a book that many people will enjoy reading and is sure to have an impact on Denise Dietz's career.
