The People vs Satan

What if the Devil made a deal—and the world put him on trial for murder?
Abraham Leavy once had it all. A thriving clothing store, a beautiful family, and a future as bright as the neon lights of his dreams. Then came the chain store across the street. The bankruptcy. The divorce. The house swallowed up in foreclosure. Within a year, Abraham was sleeping under bridges and drinking away the memory of a better life.
Until one night, when a stranger with eyes like obsidian intervened as Abraham was being beaten in the street. He offered him a deal: his soul, in exchange for everything he had lost—multiplied a hundredfold—for twenty-five years. Broken and bitter, Abraham agreed.
Soon after, he finds a lottery ticket worth $6,666,666.66, opens a glimmering new mall, and topples the department store that once destroyed him. For two and a half decades, he lives like a king.
But on the 25th anniversary of the deal, Abraham is found stabbed to death in broad daylight. The man last seen with him—a charismatic, ageless stranger—is arrested. In court, he makes a shocking claim:
He is Satan. And Abraham’s soul was his to collect.
What follows is the most explosive trial in history. As prosecutors pursue justice for a murdered man, the defense presents a case unlike any the legal system has ever heard: that their client is the Devil himself—and that the victim was not murdered, but claimed in accordance with a spiritual contract.
Can the court convict a man who may not be a man at all?
Can the Devil be tried for murder? Or is this a trial of human conscience itself?
