The Devil Himself

By: Peter Farris

Narrated by: Megan Tusing

Deep in the backwoods of South Georgia, eighteen-year-old Maya narrowly escapes a savage end. The victim of a vast human-trafficking operation managed out of Mexico, she had the misfortune to discover the dark plans of a high-ranking client. Her fate seemed sealed, until Leonard Moye, a lonely eccentric who doesn't suffer fools or tolerate trespassers, takes the young woman under his protection.

Both bearing the scars from personal tragedies, they soon develop a bond that makes them, as a pair, a formidable foe, even for hardened criminals and professional scumbags. Maya knows too much and the old man lives on land in the crosshairs of narco machinations. As the heavies seek to finish the job, they find they may be no match for the resourcefulness of a disturbed old man and a cunning young woman.

Southern noir at its finest, The Devil Himself sizzles with suspense and bewitching characters.

Farris has created a new classic in country noir, a novel of wicked, gritty action and heartfelt redemption. First published in France with enormous critical acclaim and winning multiple literary awards, The Devil Himself will mark Peter Farris as a major crime writer in America as well.

Loved It

Loved the story, the characters, and how Meg Tusing brings it all to life.

Publisher is doing a terrible job with this book

The Kindle price for this book is 17.99. Who charges this much for a Kindle book. I wanted to read it based on reviews but every other book I've read on Kindle has been $7, $9 or $14 at the most. So I passed.
I was happy to see it here on Audible, on sale to $2.00. That's obviously a great price. However listing to it is a disappointment. The narrator is fine, but it's just a bad match for this story for a number of reasons but mainly I think a guy would have fit better

quick, good characters, so-so plot

Characters are well developed, plot is a bit unbelievable, but okay. Beginning has a lot sexual topics...may be triggering to some. A good book, good narration...but not a book I would read twice.
