Description
Grayson Hale, the most infamous murderer in Scotland, is better known by a different name: the Deviĺs Advocate. The twenty-five-year-old American grad student rose to instant notoriety when he confessed to the slaughter of his classmate Liam Stewart, claiming the Devil made him do it. When Hale is found hanged in his prison cell, officers uncover a handwritten manuscript that promises to answer the question that́s haunted the nation for years: was Hale a lunatic, or had he been telling the truth all along? Unnervingly, Hale doesńt fit the bill of a killer. The first-person narrative that centers this novel reveals an acerbic young atheist, newly enrolled at the University of Edinburgh to carry on the legacy of his recently deceased father. In need of cash, he takes a job ghostwriting a mysterious book for a dark stranger, but has misgivings when the project begins to reawaken his satanophobia, a rare condition that causes him to live in terror that the Devil is after him. As he struggles to disentangle fact from fear, Graysońs world is turned upside-down after events force him to confront his growing suspicion that hés working for the one he has feared all this timéand that the book is only the beginning of their partnership.́́ --,from Amazon.
