The Devil Book cover

A bold tour-de-force about violence and money, love and desire, and a stand-off with the Devil himself

A woman meets a man on a train in Copenhagen and agrees to visit him in London. While she sits out a two-week Covid quarantine in his apartment, she begins to tell her story. Years ago and desperate for money, she sold herself to a stranger called T. He offered her a suitcase full of money and lavish gifts in exchange for total control of her body. In the bed between them lay a large kitchen knife and the promise of an iconic death.

But at the last moment, she aborted the treacherous game and fled. Now in London, she reflects on the forces - financial and social - that led her to the brink of destruction, and wonders what it would take to believe in love again.

Frank, intimate and dazzling entertaining, The Devil Book is a classic girl-meets-boy-meets-devil story. Taking us from Copenhagen to London to the inside of a mental institution, as well as a fancy apartment block, this unmissable stand-alone novel is the follow up to the critically-acclaimed Money to Burn.

So tender and pure that it is very difficult not to be moved * Kritik *
