The new novel in the award-winning Jack Taylor series from Ireland's most acclaimed crime writer.

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

Disappointed and bitter, he thinks that an encounter with an over-friendly stranger in an airport bar is the least of his problems. Except that this stranger seems to know rather more than he should about Jack.

Jack thinks no more of their meeting and resumes his old life in Galway. But when he's called to investigate a student murder - connected to an elusive Mr K - he remembers the man from the airport.

Is the stranger really is who he says he is? With the help of the Jameson, Jack struggles to make sense of it all.

After several more murders and too many coincidental encounters, Jack believes he may have met his nemesis. But why has he been chosen? And could he really have taken on the devil himself?

Praise for The Devil

You don't want to meet Jack Taylor in person, ever, but if you're a big crime fan, you do want to read every book he features in.

Irish Times

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.
