The eighth novel in the award-winning Jack Taylor series by 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.

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?

Praise for The Devil

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
