The Devil

America - the land of opportunity, a place where economic prosperity beckons: - but not for PI Jack Taylor, who's just been refused entry.

Jack resumes his old life in Galway. But when he's called to investigate the frenzied murder of a student, he remembers an encounter with an over-friendly stranger in the airport bar. A stranger who seemed to know rather more than he should about Jack.

After several more murders and too many encounters to be coincidental, Jack believes he may have met his nemesis.

But why has he been chosen? And could he really be dealing with the Devil himself?

Reviews

Jack Taylor has become one of today's most interesting shamuses

—— The Times

Brilliant... Bruen's Galway is certainly not Bord Failte-approved, but once again he has delivered a disturbing story that casts a very cold eye on the state of our nation

—— Irish Independent

A fast-paced tale of black arts and white lies

—— RTE Guide

Unfailingly electric

—— The Herald

The perfect antidote to any dreary days on your holiday, The Devil will spice things up in no time

—— Galway Now

Harvey is a master craftsman

—— The Guardian

Impassioned, at times heartbreaking story … confirms Harvey as one of our most accomplished writers in any genre

—— Sunday Telegraph

This series places Indridason at the centre of the best of contemporary crime fiction. He is a master storyteller, and has a real gift for evoking the complex humanity at the heart of the most dour-seeming individuals.

—— The Guardian

Most people will find The Daughter Of Time as interesting and enjoyable a book as they will meet in a month of Sundays

—— Observer

A detective story with a very considerable difference. Ingenious, stimulating and very enjoyable

—— Sunday Times

Josephine Tey has always been absolutely reliable in producing original and mysterious plots with interesting characters and unguessable endings

—— Spectator
